Behavior of some Polish People

11 years ago

Hi Expats
I am living since nearly 3 years in this lovely country but experienced quite some things which are very much disturbing me since I came from Switzerland to Poland. Some Polish are very unpolite when they call you and you are not speaking polish but ask them to speak in english. They than usually just hang up the phone. Also when you go into a shop and ask for something you do not see than the standard answer is " I don´t know". Friendliness and politeness is something the Polish have to learn very urgently, otherwise no foreigners will stay for a longer period of times. I know you cannot change them in a day or two but shop owners and companies should teach their staff that a happy client is a returning client.
Best regards to all of you from the south of Poland
