    Can’t say I’d be delighted about this, but they’ll very quickly leave when the food’s disturbed and wasps - like bees - don’t leave behind diseases or eggs. The same cannot be said for flies - if those were flies I wouldn’t touch anything in the shop.

      My experience with wasps are different. They’ll fucking attack you it you’re anywhere near their food.

        Africanised bees will be like that, but we don’t really have them in europe as far as I know.

        Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.

        You’ll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.

        You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.
