"There had in fact been an idea of reducing the waiting staff but to be honest I do not know how it all ended. We are currently working on restructuring the personnel" told “Wprost” Władysław Stasiak, head of the Presidential Chancellery. From what we have found it seems that it was Piotr Kownacki who wanted to dismiss the waiters. Why? “Some of them work in the President’s bar, where the monthly cash transactions amount to a few hundred zlotys. Paying the people who work there was a waste of money. The second group are those waiting on the presidential couple at the resort in Hel. To put it mildly, they are infamous for their thriftlessness”, told us someone acquainted with the situation. What does the thriftlessness consist in? “It consists in ordering too much food for the presidential couple. Instead of serving them 2 or 4 schnitzels, they serve 10. It is easy to guess what they do with the food that has not been consumed” says our source. Reportedly, even the First Lady has complained about the abundance of food on the table, but to no effect.

From what "Wprost" has found the decision of reducing the waiting staff has already been signed. However, after Kownacki’s resignation it was withdrawn. “The President felt sorry for the waiters and let them stay”, says someone from the President’s surroundings. Piotr Kownacki did not want to talk about the situation.
