The store, Leclerc, is part of a French chain. It is not surprising that they opened in Warsaw. The government gives the foreign companies a substantial tax break for doing business here. True, it drives the small local stores completely out of business, but in return we have Abundance. Great heaps of expensive Abundance. Across the street live the people who are trying to afford Abundance. They aren’t shopping enough though. The salespeople (eg the one with the fried dumplings) have to amuse themselves by weighing their hands on the empty scales.
