Our second night in Poland (Monday), Genna and I were making dinner
and much to our surprise their was a knock at our door. Genna looked through
the peephole and saw that it was kids. She thought they were just goofing around and didn’t answer.
On Wednesday they were back. This time I answered the door
and said, “hi.” They laughed and laughed and tried to communicate to me through
mostly hand motions that they wanted to take my trash. I didn’t know the going
rate for trash collection. So I said we didn’t have any.
Friday, they were back again. Once again Genna answered.
After she didn’t understand them they went and found a friend who speaks
English. She explained that the 2 boys come on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and
will take out our rubbish for 1 zloty.
These budding entrepreneurs
have come every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as promised! We give them our
trash once in a while, but feel kind of foolish spending a zloty to have them
do something we can easily do ourselves. Considering the trash is just a few
hundred feet from our building. Maybe we will find this service more useful
during the winter months.
Where is the like button? How much is a zloty worth?
