Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Marzena: At most coffee shops, there are no staff walking around taking your order, so you need to order your coffee at the counter. If you go to a restaurant or a beer garden, you have to call for the waiter. Attract their attention by simply saying przepraszam!
