I noted that it's not English and the commas, but did not track it down to Polish. Surely there were ads in Europe too, no?

Sure there were HP ads everywhere and in every language, but checking a supermarket receipt doesn’t seem to be a remarkable thing to do on a financial calculator. I used to do that in my head, missing the total balance by a tiny amount (I would round 1.29 to 1.50, 3.19 to 3.00 and so on).

Didier Lachieze hit the nail on the head, indeed a stock photo. I knew that picture was not unfamiliar to me, it’s income tax time here and now I remember I have seen it before. Here, for instance.
