Yes. A measured response.

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

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).

those are wasps, unfortunately,

Wouldn't traps near the food be a bigger concern than wasps taking a bite? Idk I live in Germany so I might be desensitized. The way I see it wasp-free pastry is preferable but if they decide to help themselves then oh well. They don't soak the food in spit and they don't lay eggs on it, they just nibble.

Don't watch videos of raw food material transportation like grain or sugar.

A bit of shit on our food gives us some needed trace elements.

You wouldn't eat something that grew in nature?

It's nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.

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?
