When you lose an argument you always revert to personal abuse, I didn't find your response humorous but rather the utterings of someone who is attempting to debunk reasonable arguments with personal insults and uninformed and uneducated drivel.

Does the recession of 2008 suit you better?, yes that was America again, you really need to understand the subject you are talking about before reacting with sarcasm and belittlement, So from this we have learned that you have no idea about economics in the same way you have proved to have no knowledge of geography. lesson over.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


So you understand the difference when it comes to customers and service , where I live we depend on agro tourism (at least until covid) we have technical colleges with courses dedicated to tourism , I assume they teach people about customer service, but I can't see it filtering down to the shops.

Maybe the problem a cultural thing, but its not something you see in wider Europe, I don't see it as a big deal but I can see how it effects visitors and we can see from this young lady's experience that she has complained about Polish clients within her shop.

But I guess her clients seem not to be professionals more seasonal workers and maybe there lies the difference.

Just debating and putting forward my view of things, I don't think Polish migrants are bad people just they are from a different culture,

dare I say not really customer service focused be they customer or client.

But It could be argued that they are just being honest and don't see any need for false smiles or behaviour when it comes down to doing the shopping or dealing with clients.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


Don't get me wrong I am used to all this and its not a problem , in fact it can be entertaining.

But it is a shock for people visiting Poland, and I am not surprised that Polish migrant workers have taken these habits with them.

The only places where I have seen things get a bit better is in the major cities.

What country did you come from, did you have the same problems?

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


But that is exactly what you get when you shop in Poland, why shouldn't the Dutch lady treat them the same way, after all they are behaving as they would in Poland.

Just trying to be helpful, Sorry If the truth about Polish shopping upsets you.

To be honest the young lady understands Polish shoppers very well especially when she talks about the alcoholics queuing at 7am , what time do you start queuing?

I could go on about all the old grannies that push right up into your personal space and look in your wallet of purse or the ones that barge past to jump the queue.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


I don't know what you mean, all I have done is describe the Polish shopping experience, pray tell me where you shop that is anything different to what I described , the wife made a couple of those points and she unlike me is not allowed to lie.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]

If you are having a really bad day at the checkout then literally throw the groceries rapid fire at the customer, especially if they are fragile items.

Pawian I am not going to rise to your bait on a on topic thread , I am trying not to fall into that trap anymore, please post personal derogatory remarks in random where I will read them.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


So the best thing the OP can do is to treat them as if they were back home I will provide a list of how to deal with a Polish customer below: If anyone wishes to chip in please do, this poor girl needs help.

1. never smile at a customer.

2. If a customer is buying a single item of alcohol or cigarettes (or it is a customer you don't like) ALWAYS refuse service unless they have exact change.

3. Never attempt to help the customer if they do not speak fluent Dutch.

4. If a customer interrupts you while chatting to a friend on your mobile sternly tell them to wait and turn your back on them and continue your conversation.

5 If a customer askes you where the something is, immediately tell the that's not your job.

6. If they complain tell them that they are in Holland not Poland now.

The above list is by no means exhaustive but may give you some help towards giving the appropriate level of customer service to your Polish clients.

Polonia / Behaviour of Polish migrant workers in the Netherlands [43]


That's the Polish shopping experience!!!, If you go shopping in Poland you will find the shop staff much worse than the customers.

After seven years of this even I am short with shop people and just bark orders at them , there is no have a nice day here in Poland its the way it is like it or lump it.

I guess your clients are just not used to someone being polite to them.

Told you before gays are ok, those towns made a stand about the education of their children the some activist went around with a camera crew and planted LGBT free zone signs, I won't tell you lot again!

Gays have been part of polish society since the year dot, suggest you should devote your time to countries where they throw gays off the top of buildings.

Go outside with your camera and take a picture of any gay hate graffiti you can find in your town/city and post it here!!

Total rubbish and untrue , there are gays everywhere in Polish society, nobody is deliberately creating a hostile environment for them to live in, albeit as in any other country there are random nutters who would pick on gays the same as foreigners or Jews.

Tacticus where are these places? do you live in Poland?.

Polish people are not happy about gay parades and gay education of young children, that's all.

Poland simply does not have the same tensions in society as you would find in France,Germany, UK etc .

Poland has a policy to integrate people into Polish society you do not get pockets of people who wish to live separate lives in random pockets for their own safety as you do in the rest of the EU.

Gays in Europe have had to create their own "Gay villages" where they can feel safe and be amongst their own.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gay_villages

I suggest the wider EU sorts out it's own problems before it points fingers at Poland.

There is no need to do that , well sorry I did mention the elephant in the room , but hey do come to Poland and ask around there is no mass homophobia, racism or xenophobia , I would know I live in a village .

No stop listening to your own propaganda , towns DID NOT declare themselves LGBT free they just stated that they would not accept LGBT education as the norm for their children.

Bratwurst I like you and I think you are a level headed guy, but stop listening to your propogandists. come to Poland go visit the so called "gay frei" towns and ask the councillors themselves.

Poland will never make the mistakes of Germany, so don't worry we will not be opening up any concentration camps for gays or Jews any time soon.

No that didn't happen , some towns said they did not want gayism being taught to their young children, then a gay activist guy thought he could get some mileage / publicity from this and went around putting up official looking gay free zone signs, thus creating controversy.

That's the truth of it bratwurst honest.

Oh I am not anti gay, especially bisexual women, they are just great:)

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]


It's the safest country I have ever lived in full stop.

You never hear of a gay,jew,muslim,black being beaten up in the streets of Poland , it just doesn't happen as a norm here, unlike UK Germany, France where it is a day to day occurrence.

As for the plight of Jews just look at the controversy in the UK where the opposition ultra left wing leader of the labour party (Corbyn) who was suspended by his own party for his hate campaign against the British Jewish community.

Yet these western nations feel they can criticize Poland yet they cannot bring harmony and peace to their own nations.

I looked at the live stream of the Polish independence rally , there were no more than two thousand random nutters causing trouble, that is all that could be mustered from the whole of Poland by the fanatics, funny how the western press used short angled camera shots to make it look as if more people were there causing trouble.

I call bull$hit, Brussels is lensing on Poland as some kind of scapegoat , its trying to create a smoke screen whilst covering up the hate racism, antisemitism, terrorism that is the norm in the rest of Europe.

Funny how the European council (Germany ) accuses Poland, while Germany itself is still allow hotbeds for Nazis, Entire villages in fact.
