(SOUNDBITE) (Polish) BAKER AND OWNER OF KROMKA BAKERY, ASIA OLEJNICZAK, SAYING:
"I can't go to the protest because I work as a baker and unfortunately the hours I work are what they are, so the only thing I can do is to support them in this way."
(SOUNDBITE) (Polish) BAKER AND OWNER OF KROMKA BAKERY, ASIA OLEJNICZAK, SAYING:
"Customers have been very positive. We only had one case where someone didn't want bread with a lightning bolt. Others come here and ask for it, they reserve bread on the internet, and they want more, so we will be baking them till the end of this week for sure."
