What shops in Poland hide from the sight? Some of them school-aged children who instead of learning maths, are trying to escape of their hurt.
Work in a grocery takes you to another world. All the sudden you are finding out that law binding in your country ,in general, is not applicable. But it is not so bad until you are getting money for your cash-desk service, exposition of hundreds of products on shelves or carrying 18 kilograms of sparkling water for one move while such moves might be more than ten. And you are a woman. The driver with the next delivery sometimes helps you with containers and even with heavier goods but he does not have time to bring all of them. You can say, unfortunately European Union fighting for women rights forgot about sex differences in the case of shops. The law is set not the way, probably because of equal chances and equal treatment (in the EU everyone is very sensitive for discrimination) to obligate shop-runners to hire a man to serve deliveries. And who cares that your period is twice a month and your hands skin is getting dry due to required temperature in refrigerators? Who cares you are running out of blood and have no money to see doctor regurarly, not mentioning drugs you need for minimal healthy functioning? But, to be just, there are shops hiring men for deliveries or at least are claiming so.
Disappearing cash
People who come to the shop are nice and often pay with cash and leave some extra thinking you and your friends are getting the surplus. No. More often you hear the cash report/check out is not in favour, what stipulates some money is missing. How is this possible when you see some people pay more for products they buy than the price on the shelf and in the computer system and all money is collected in the cassette? A mystery.
A phone lock
But you are getting your dole and even more than you have set in your contract if you are that happy to obtain it. You have to work as your child is attending school and may have a better future. You do not contribute to the retirement system because earning is too low to pay. But anyway it is not too bad. Still, you have some money to survive. Your child is attending school and you can control whether its security has been ensured. But, in some cases, child may not attend school or attend selectively. Why? Not clear. The clear thing is it is spending time with a quite good phone at the back of the shop. Not very happy. You can rather say unhappy and trying to show it but its buddy requires dutifully. When you can close a gantry approached by upper-class car the child may be moved to another room. What’s happening next? You do not know because you are fired.
