And wasps will kill any fly that dares come close. Only thing they like more than sugar is protein.

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 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.

There seems to be a vast gulf here. American wasps will fukin attack you for fun. So you kill them first.

Do they really attack on sight?
Here it’s usually that they seek out the breath because of the monoxide and people start panicking because the ly fly into their face and seemingly wont go away. So they Start swinging their arms at the wasp and it feels in danger and attacks.
Easiest solution is to hold breath and walk away if they bother you.

I’m from germany, and it indeed is in summer, even in large cities.

Yes, if you leave them outside at summer. No wasps in bakeries or coffeeshops in Finland.
