The ongoing series of 'Come and Complain' Poland ads take an unusual way to entice foreigners to this great country. From the perspective of the ads, it’s actually more accurate to say that Poland isn’t so great.
The final instalment of the Poland Come and Complain videos is called 'Waitress' and it depicts a woman polishing a glass and speaking about the drinking habits of Poles. Even the coloring of the video with its somber blue hues suggest the tone of the monotonous message she delivers: the Polish can’t compete with the amounts neighboring countries are able to drink and further complaints are abound when she notes that this also means she sees very few tips.
The Come and Complain campaign will be soon coming to a close at the end of April, but until then, anybody with a complaint is encouraged to add their own two cents to the "virtual book of complaints" on the Come and Complain Facebook page.
