A Polish jalapeño pastry

Can't say I'd be delighted about this, but they'll very quickly leave when the food's disturbed and wasps - like bees - don't leave behind diseases or eggs. The same cannot be said for flies - if those were flies I wouldn't touch anything in the shop.

Where I live, it is considered a community service to kill wasps. Seriously. Gotta die.
It's straight up illegal here

My experience with wasps are different. They'll fucking attack you it you're anywhere near their food.

the 'joke' is that they are spicy (jalapeno) because Poles are supposed to be stupid (according to the joke teller) and would eat them with bees still on them and get stung in the mouth.
The text on the pastry is literally Polish. It is a pastry in a Polish bakery. You don't need to be outraged on behalf of someone else.

I'm not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over there with some places that are outside or keep doors open.

If white people can't handle heat then explain this spicy polish pastry

Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the "Really, America?" shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
But it's not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.It's nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.

Fascinating. Its not that I have some obsession with killing wasps, but its something I do immediately. When I see nests, I eliminate them. I will tell the property owner, "You're welcome."

This is not true. We have stores with flies. I don't go to those stores.
As for wasps, I understand there are legal restrictions here. Boy, that is pretty strange. For wasps. Wasps do just fine without our help. -

Flies or wasps are also a completely different thing. The worst/only thing that can happen with wasps is that one doesn't move away when you take a bite and stings you.
Edit: yes I know mosquito nets etc will help against flies, but that generally doesn't help in a store (depending on the type of door even impossible). Plus once they open insects like to get in with the people at the same time and even if nothing opens they tend to find a way in a lot of buildings.

Well, that's the nice thing about civilization. We get to divide up labor into specialties. I don't own a bakery, so I don't have the secret you've inquired about. I get to choose which places I shop, and I make sure its places without bugs. If I have a secret at all, its the power of the purse.

These are the wasps that I know and destroy.

What is it with European bakeries and bees? I've seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who's German BF never shows his face, I can't remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?
Compared to (my impression of) north America I think there are some contributing factors:
- Less sprawl: Bakeries are usually in a town/neighborhood (which has more nature compared to the US, therefore also more insects) and not surrounded by a huge parking lot where no wasps would live. There are also many neigbouhring properties with different owners/occupants. So their nest might nor be on your property or even somewhere where you'd be able to locate it.
- (more) indipendent shops: I see waaaay less wasps in the baked good section in supermarkets here as well. Bakeries are usually not huge so it is just a short distance for the wasps to fly in a confinded space. Bakeries are also not usually airconditioned which would probably irritate wasps.
- conservation laws: Wasps are considerd a protected species in Germany and catching, harming or killing them without a proper reason can carry a fine of up to 5-65k€ depending on the kind of wasp and the state. In general wasp nests can only be moved by professional and licenced exterminators (and they only do it when necessary, like the nest being near a kindergarten or in an occupied builduing).

Serious question, are the wasps as likely to get diarrhea eating that as I think they are, and will the hive reject them at the entrance if they're doing the insect equivalent of shitting their pants the way hives do with drunks?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Africanised bees will be like that, but we don't really have them in europe as far as I know.
Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.
You'll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.
You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.
