Zabka does not sell gas, it's just a convenience store. The closest to Zabka in America would be 7/11, from selling ready to go meals, to making hot fast-food like hotdogs, fries, wraps. They also have fully automated stores called "Żabka nano" where you scan the code from your app, walk in, and it will automaticly scan products that you put into your basket. When you're done you just walk out since it will auto charge you for all of the items you bought. They also have other services in the normal stores like a mail point so you can send/receive mail, tax paying point, phone repair etc.

What people call full fat milk 3.2% from the supermarket is milk with water after the cream has been removed. Normal full fat milk from a cow is 4.8 - 4.9% . I will also tell you a secret about Polish families. If a family has three children, they are entitled to a large family card. This card allows you to buy cheaper tickets for public transport, discounts on car fuel and a 10% discount on food purchases in the supermarket. There are many more discounts that I don't remember, but I often go shopping with my brother who has this card.

in the USA food is highly processed and confectionery products have a lot of sugar compared to Polish baked goods. That is why in Poland there are not as many overweight people as you see in the USA and in Poland people walk a lot and even if you consume more calories you will get rid of it by walking and walking around the city and not like in America you drive everywhere. An American who moved to Poland with his wife got used to walking a lot and when he came back to America to visit his family cars stopped and offered him a lift thinking that his car had broken down. These are small everyday shops, not gas stations, there are also large supermarkets. Food in Poland is definitely healthier than in the USA and bread is not the same bread as in America what you call bread is called in Poland bread for toast. I don't know if you have eaten fresh real country bread made from sourdough - that taste and that smell

Żabka, to nie supermarket, to sieć malutkich i średniej wielkości sklepików osiedlowych. Ich fenomen polega na tym, że w niedzielę i święta, kiedy inne sklepy są zamknięte, oni mają otwarte. Nie ma tam jakiegoś super asortymentu, ale jak w niedzielę zabraknie ci chleba, bo np.: odwiedzi cię rodzinka, to zawsze jest szansa, że jak nie w jednej, to w drugiej kupisz.

Ten materiał udowadnia jak gówniana jest jakość żywności w USA. Mam wrażenie że chipsy i cola na rynki państw UE byłyby zakwalifikowane w USA jako zdrowa żywność. I nie, u nas w Polsce nie jest tanio. A na pewno nie jest tanio dla Polaków. Polskie statystyki już dawno powninny podawać dominantę zarobków a nie średnią, której prawie nikt w tym kraju nie zarabia. Żabka i dyskonty zabijają niezależne sklepy i to jest w moich oczach jedna z tragedii polskiego handlu. I typowy przykład późnego kapitalizmu, który chce z nas zrobić bezmózgich konsumentów takich jak w USA. Co do cen warzyw, owoców i mięsa my w Polsce gotujemy posiłki dla siebie i swoich rodzin.

Food prices usually follow income of that country, you say it's very cheap, I from Czechia say it's little bit cheaper for Poles tho it may still be kinda expensive. Fun fact, what does not follow income and far worse usually gets more expensive is electronics, cars... if income is taken into account imagine that you would have to pay 4500 USD instead of 999 USD for a phone (prices in EU tend to be higher, you have much much higher tax 20+% for example and then the income difference) while the food, rent and so on is still the same price.

1:44 "Góralki" wafers are a Czech production - not Polish. 8:49 Very often, bread in supermarkets is baked from ready-made raw dough. Thanks to this, the smell of baked bread wafts through the shop, which makes people hungry and they buy more food. Such an oven pays for itself quite quickly. Bread baked in a supermarket is of low quality and, for example, dries up after a few hours of purchase, so that if bought in the evening, it probably won't last until morning. For comparison, the same type of bread from a professional bakery will not dry out even if kept on the surface for several days. I am not talking about bread with chemical "improvers" (which remains "fresh" even for several years), but about the kind produced using flour, water, yeast, and possibly herbs, seeds, pumpkin, onion, and other natural flavorings. 12:49 The minimum net salary (after paying: taxes, mandatory insurance contribution for medical expenses, childbirth and rehabilitation, mandatory contribution for pension insurance and in the event of loss of income due to disability, illness or childbirth) is approx. PLN 3,000 per month. Average net salary approx. PLN 6,000 per month.
