A Polish jalapeño pastry
So, if those are yellowjackets, how do they remove the bread without getting stung? Also why do they like the jalapeño so much?

Just move your hand slowly and don't touch the wasps.
It's also not a literally jalapeño pastry, it's just "spicey" because of all the wasps on it.
I see you enjoy dining at Applebee's.

Nice Eddie Izzard reference
Bees would be fine. Those are muthafuckin yellow jackets. Absolutely nasty sumbitches.
It's nice to know it's a popular selection
That's gotta be a sign of quality right?
Edit: I'm a dumbass, those are yellow jackets. Nope, burn it all with fire!
They're on it because it is sweet and the stand is outdoors.
Double, triple, quadruple the spiciness.
Summer is back alright!
The bakery behind my workplace has the same problem.

Do people buy food they see insects crawling on?
You don't know where those insects have been, they could have been walking on anything!

Guess they do....
I don't much care. Insects are insanely clean animals. Have to be or their exoskeleton gets jacked.
Still, I have an illogical ick about bugs walking on my food more so than landing on it.
Flies literally vomit on the food they want to consume, because they use their stomach acid to dissolve it. So they could have been munching on some dogshit before they landed on your dinner, and then they vomit up that dogshit on your food.
Insects are not automatically "insanely clean animals" per definition just because they have an exo-skeleton.
Meh, they could just as easily land on me, a fly bug landing on something wouldnt stop me eating it. That kind of cautiousness is a recipe for disaster
In some parts when the wasps get bad you can't really avoid it, even if you can keep them off the food in the kitchen the moment you take it out it will be covered in them. If you don't want to eat food a wasp has touched you can only eat at home and nowhere else.
That food is just spicy
European problema.
Ive never seen this happen at UK bakeries
So not a European problem then?
Yeah, I didn't see too many wasps when I lived there either, I think just those few degrees colder it is really helps. In France and Germany they are everywhere
