Polish hardware shop offers brothel visits
2005-09-13
WARSAW (AFP) - A Polish do-it-yourself and hardware shop has offered an hour in a brothel to customers who spend more than 10,000 zlotys (about 3,000 dollars, 2,500 euros) on construction material, the company said.
In case they are tired of doing it themselves
"It's a case, if you like, of different strokes for different folks, in terms of doing business," said Roman Myszko, boss of the Bepol shop in Elblag, in northern Poland.
"Really different strokes cost extra"
"Nearby, there is a house of leisure, which is where the idea for this special offer came from," he told AFP. The owner of the brothel "came to our shop to buy some paintbrushes and paint. I knew immediately what her line of business was, and I talked with her (about proposing the special offer) and she agreed," Myszko told the Zycie Warszawy daily.
I kind of doubt we'll see this at Home Depot anytime soon.

Two Bepol customers have "earned themselves entry tickets" to the brothel, each valued at 100 zlotys. "They haven't used them yet," Myszko told AFP by telephone.

#11  Hey, do they take on-line orders? And more importantly, do they have vouchers that are redeemable in the USA?

#3  Hmmm... As it happens, I have a 10,000 Zloty note.

An old one, though, worth about oh - zero now. Wouldn't even make good toilet paper.
