There is no norm for tipping. Tips in the Netherlands are extra appriciation for the people servicing you. It's entirely up to you if you tip or not and how much. The people servicing you have a salary and are not depending on the tips. Tips are surely appriciated, ofcourse.

Hi Jessica, great insights on The Netherlands. We are traveling there in June from Texas and your videos are helping me plan our trip. I had previously seen a vlogger from Amsterdam explain the directness. She said it is misinterpreted as rude but in fact, they feel they are doing a good thing by being honest. I like that- practical and honest. Looking forward to the trip.

Born in '79 and lived in Zeeland my whole life. I dont do the kisses, always hated them so I grabbed the occasion and just banned them outright now. From about 6 I played outside with friends on the block I lived and with becoming older the range got bigger. At about 10 years old I was allowed to go to the citycentre with a friend (10 min per bike) I only tip if I had an extremely good service/experience. I dont drink nor have I ever drank coffee, like the smell, hate te taste LOL On a whole I see the difference as the US being a very superficial place, people who only care about themselves and buy all the bigger, better, shinier and more expensive as their neighbours. The once above the median dont care about the ones struggling to get by, as long as they get their 1 dollar MacMeal they dont care The social cohesion is completely lacking. The idea of working hard so everyone can reach rich status....but forgetting that that just isnt possible. The ones on the top got there essentialy by modern slavery, waitressing for 2 bucks an hour is just gross... The more I learn about the US the more I love living somewhere where people at least know their privilege for the most part and we value all people we try to give everyone at least the security of basic needs (food, shelter and medical) the fact that in the US you can go from having a decent job to sleeping in your car without anyone batting an eye within 2 months is just scary. In my opinion the US is becoming more and more like a 3rd world country.....

In the USA you need a car for everything and it’s further away from your home. A lot of time gets lost with the commute and so to save some time you buy in bulk. While bulk seems more convenient in reality it leads to more waste and a lot more energy is needed and lost to cool and freeze more for prolonged periods of time. I buy my coffee at the truck stop and bring my own cup for a refill. It’s cheaper and I don’t throw away plastic cups every time. BTW: three coffee a day a lot? I had many colleagues that drank sometimes over 30 cups a day. Very common, especially amongst smokers. Yes, the Dutch are very practical and efficient. Yes, the Americans are more emotional, often over-emotional. That’s why I think it’s scary that so many people have guns. If you see the amount of road rage that is ignited with so very little, you know those people should not carry a gun. The requirement to tip on the USA should change. I hear and read a lot about it that more and more people support that everyone should get a livable wage, no matter where you work.

The supercool bicycle brand Jessica is talking about is VanMoof. One of its many features is bike satelite tracking. They have your back they say. If your VanMoof e-bike is stolen Bike Hunters recover your bike and you get a replacement bike if they can't find it. There are many VanMoof bike hunter videos on KZfaq. From those videos I learned that practically every bike store in Romania is loaded with expensive Dutch e-bikes. And lots of brand new little kids bike stolen at primary schools. You could tell the stolen bike were Dutch 'cause they still had stickers from Dutch bike stores on them. And Gazelle and Urban Arrow aren't sold in Romania.

It is really neat to see all the differences between the US and the Netherlands. Along with tipping, one thing I've noticed too is that when I go to restaurants anywhere in Europe, any taxes are usually built into the price of the meal. It makes it a lot easier ordering food knowing that the list price is the actual cost and not the subtotal before sales tax is applied.

When I was young, in the Netherlands it was two kisses. Three kisses came in the eighties. I never approved, so I stayed clear of it (mostly). Children are on average allowed to go on their bikes on their own (in their own neighbourhood) from 8 years old. From 11 years old they are completely free to go where they want, as long as they get home to eat on time.

@aWanderlustForLife Жыл бұрын

That is so interesting! I wonder why/how 3 started.

@jpdj2715 Жыл бұрын

When I was young, it was only one kiss and only between very closely related relatives. Beyond that, a firm handshake. More to the South - Mediterranean regions - the habit was two kisses and in wider social circles. For example in Italy, it was said that an Italian boy would give an extra kiss to a girl in order to signal "I love you" or "let's explore each other". Of course naive Dutch girls did not get the message, as in communication - the action may have followed notwithstanding - and brought that third one home from their holidays and it slowly spread into sort of a standard. Fortunately, CoVid has relieved us from the complexity - just fist bump.

My greetings depend on the level of familiarity. When I meet someone for the first time it’s a handshake, a good acquaintance gets three kisses and a hug is for friends and most of my family or when I’ve had a very good or deep conversation with someone. Is it confusing? Not really… I look for social cues if I’m not sure what they want. Is someone leaning in and sticking their hand out it’s a three kisses, no leaning is just a handshake and both arms open is a hug.

@aWanderlustForLife Жыл бұрын

I see this, too. But even more confusing is sometimes people hug on first meeting if it's social. I've heard and experienced one kiss for those in your close circle. But of course, there will always be microcultures in different areas and even in specific friend groups. That's what makes this so interesting!

@anouk6644 Жыл бұрын

@@aWanderlustForLife Yes it is! Until about a decade (or two) ago three kisses were the norm and that started to chance, especially in ‘younger’ generations. I think greeting styles are more linked to social circles and age groups than it is regional. What you say when you leave is more region specific, like doei, dag, hoihoi, houdoe, ajuus etc.

Absolutely. Dutch are practical. Only the last few years the emotional vibe is getting more foothold here. Example the fact that it's stated that you cant put live animals in a microwave in a manual is absurd. But that one came over from the states. A woman sued the company because her guineepig had died in the microwave. The manual didnt say that she couldnt. So she got money out of it. Any practical or logical thinking person wouldnt have put an animal in the microwave. If this had happened in the Netherlands, not only she wouldnt win the case but she probably would get a fine or something like that for animal cruelty. All those people with an opinion they know F about, but are againt it just because it feels right? Go away....facts are the deciding factor. Not feelings. Because i dont feel like gravity should work on m because i want to fly like a bird, doesnt mean that gravity stops existing because i feel like it. With a lot of things that is what is happening and it's getting worse even in the Netherlands.

Now a-days people are putting some laws of fysics aside because they dont "feel" right because they were discoverd by a middleaged white man. I am talking about people like Einstein. That makes it not less true if you dont feel like it. People dont use their brain anymore. They just are parrotting populair belief (how insane or stupid they might be)

Yeah, the Dutch and opinions: We'd rather stick to the facts and we couldn't care less about someone's opinion. See opinions are colored by interest. Facts never are. Not everybody has got the same interest obviously. So relaying on facts makes life a lot easier. And since we especially do not like shouting airheads (like Trump) ventilating their opinions, we tend to avoid communication with foreign loud mouths and direct them back to Schiphol so they can take the first plane back home. We live by the standard that it is not so that the louder you are, the more right you are, so you may just as well talk in a modest way. Loud mouths will be skipped and isolated. In general it is like this: the louder you are, the less of a content and reasoning you have. So being a shouting airhead here basically will disqualify yourself in any discussion.
