Can I get one without wasps, please?
Extra spicy
Fuck, I entered a bakery in Vienna once that was flooded with wasps everywhere. I asked about it and the person just went 🤷♀️. Still haunts me.
Whenever I go to Germany it's the same thing! What is it with european bakeries and wasps? Wait a second... the europeans must be undercover wasps and they let and don't mind the wasps eating their food because they're their kind! It all makes sence now!
Do they just like, not have screens over there? I stayed in Germany once and the whole house had no screens on the windows, then I started noticing that I couldn't see them anywhere I went.
i have never seen anyone use screens in sweden, it's like how AC is kind of a luxury thing in northern europe, we just sit around all summer whinging about the heat

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?
Yes.

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?
I'll never understand why people call wasps "bees". They are extremely different. It's like calling deer "horses". Why is this a thing?
Ya, that's an odd odd thing. I know people that live around actual bees, watching the commercial hives swarm in the fields during pollination. They really know what bees are. And then when a wasp shows up, they are like "Fukin BEES!!!" and break out with a can of poison.
Because I just glanced at the picture while hiding my phone from customers and thought they were bees

I think those are actually wasps. It's particularly common in countries like Germany and Luxembourg where native wasps are protected species. As for Poland and other parts of Europe, it's hard to keep them out when you keep the doors propped open in lieu of central AC (and they're attracted to the fresh sugar), and wasps and bees don't transmit disease anyway, so people just get used to them
those are wasps, unfortunately,
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).

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.
My experience with wasps are different. They'll fucking attack you it you're anywhere near their food.
These are the wasps that I know and destroy.

And wasps will kill any fly that dares come close. Only thing they like more than sugar is protein.
If white people can't handle heat then explain this spicy polish pastry
the easy explanation is that Polish people aren't counted as white by white people
Them and the Irish can wish all they want, but they will never be white!
Yikes
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.
My kids screamed his head off two days ago. There's ants in the house. I'm like yeah whatever. I go to check it out. There were thousands of ants in the house. They came in through a little spot near the garage went all the way down one wall along another wall straight through the kitchen under the fridge to a single crunchy snack thing that fell onto the floor.
I'm not too worried about this fly or two or an and or two and I leave spiders alone If they've picked a nice quiet corner. But I can't have thousands of ants in my kitchen.
