Ruch's new move

The walk-in Ruch on Plac Konstitucji is part of a market test to find a new image for the former press and distribution monopoly. The changeover on the square took two days and is receiving mixed reviews.
"The work is much harder now," remarks a newsstand saleswoman. "Although we are working the same number of hours, two of us must work at the same time, mainly because one has to stand and watch the customers all the time."
Unlike Ruch's other kiosks, the walk-in newsstand on Plac Konstitucji provides easy access to newspapers and magazines and, at last, no way to catch a cold while waiting to buy a bus ticket on the most rainy days.
"It's great that all the items are displayed together with the prices," said one customer. "It makes shopping much easier. You can compare and choose leisurely."
The saleswoman noted: "One thing is strange - people are still asking many questions, although it is easy to find anything they are looking for."
