1. Please give details of any existing national legislation in your country that is specifically relevant regarding the obligations and limitations for LVMH shop assistants dealing with cash payments?

There is no such general legislation.

No.

3. Is there a maximum amount of cash a customer may use to purchase items in a store in your country? If yes, what is the amount?

There is no limitation unless a transaction is settled between two entrepreneurs (rather than between an entrepreneur and a consumer client). In case of a transition between two entrepreneurs, a limit has been set for cash settled transactions of PLN 15,000.

4. Are there any limitations in your country with regard to the acceptance of denominations of [euro] banknotes?

No, there are no such limits (generally payments are made in PLN (Polish zloty) rather than in euro, as euro is not adopted in Poland).
