AugustanFinn Sounds reasonable. But sending your military to the Middle East will not help; wiping out terrorist groups with sheer force will create a power vacuum that will be filled by a new terrorist group.
MaryeLovesYou part of it is that we pay for service in the wage per our for waiters/waitresses. In America that is not the case. So we already pay with the food for the service. We tip if we find that the service they gave was extra good or the food came quickly or it was better than expected. In America you have to pay for the service because that is not in the wage of the waiter/waitress.
Phamy Caint I know. Servers there earn just about 2 bucks an hour. We earn like three times as much. Still isn't a lot in my opinion, but that's why it's called minimum wage.
We do give tips in restaurants (McDonalds is not a restaurant), but tipping works different. A waitres or waiter will get a wage over here, they do not have to survive on tips.
I am from the Netherlands and i really don't understand why they should get tips. I mean sure, everyone would like to get tips but they just do their job. Would you pay you're dentist extra? Or a cashier in the super market? Why are restaurants different? I just don't understand it..
+Marloes van den Bosch People in America that work in restaurants earn a very very very small amount per hour. So they live off the tips they receive. It's a system, that maybe needs to change but it's very difficult to implement that. Here in the Netherlands, servers receive a 'normal' hourly rate, and are not dependend on tips. It's nice if you receive one, but it's just not necessary. When I was 17 I worked for $2 per hour. My tips were my lifeline.
+Marloes van den Bosch I am from austria and it is pretty common to give tips here, I mean often it's not that much but at least a few cents to a couple of euros. I personally ONLY tip when the waiter was doing extraordinary service but that might just be a thing that only I or a minority of people in my country do.
Interesting how a countries history/situation creates a culture. I think because in The Netherlands (throughout history) we have so many very different people jammed into such a small bit of land....we don't just share the land but we life on it together. In order to keep getting along we kinda had to become liberale/sociale. And you just have to get everything out in the open. So in order to deal with underlying issues the dutch tend to be viewed as blunt (by international standards)...but its not meant to insult its just saying it like it is and getting a dialog going. We HAD TO keep very different people working together (cause our big neighbours kept on attacking us and the ocean kept on invading the land). Thats why major cultural ideas like for example gay marriage started in the Netherlands.....an issues comes up...we have a vivid discussion and we make up our oppinion (even if the rest of the world thinks we are nuts). It kinda explains Dutch culture very well....which is also why we are one of the founders of the EU.....we want everybody to get allong. Lol I think your POV on the Dutch is the most correct one I've come across. Usually you only hear the stereotypes...cheese...farming...drugs...red light district..WO II. So thanks.
I have a friend from the netherlands so I looked up what it is like to live in the netherlands. It is nice to see an LDS video explaining it around here an there!
Being a born Dutchman, living most of my life in the USA, I think you got a lot of it right on....take the 'space' thing a little closer, as Dutch are forced at times to make crowd contact, if with clothes at least, so now, as an American most of my life, I feel claustrophobic in Holland.
It's so funny to hear the differences between US and The Netherlands! What I really miss when were in the US is that you cannot jump on your bike, and go to the grocery store.. everything takes a lot of time in the US. But the space.. I love it! Big cars, big highways.. really cool 😉 and I think that Americans are really nice and interesting people!
itmarcel Ik praat nooit over steden in het Engels, dus je zal wel gelijk hebben. Ik vond het gewoon grappig klinken, en dat vind ik altijd als mensen Nederlands proberen. Ik vind het ook altijd grappig om mensen wat woordjes te leren met extreem veel "g"
I'm from the Netherlands and did a road trip for a month (went to Utah aswel) :). and I gotta say:American people are really friendly and social! they are always in for a little chat I really miss that in the Netherlands. by the way,can I ask you what you did in the Netherlands?
just saw this comment. way late, but ya. I lived there for 2 years doing volunteer work for my church. now I just like to visit for fun and to see friends. was just there a bit ago actually
Nice to hear how others experience the country I live in. I think it's very interesting how the environment people live in, have influence on the way they live and behave. People have the tendency to judge other people the way they think and behave, but don't ask themselves why others think and behave the way they do.
We do tip. But usually when we are with a big group and we'd tip like 10 euro (maybe a little less or more). But when alone or just with 2 friends, then tipping isn't really that much of a common thing.
I really like this video! It must be so weird to move from the US to the Netherlands! I lived in the US for a semester (made a video about it, if you want to check it out, it's on my channel) but I really enjoyed it there so much. I feel like it must be more confusing for Americans to move to the Netherlands than the other way around.
if you're talking about the "ov chipkaart", we often hate them because in some situations it is taking more money than needed so. but you can still love it if you'd like to, I'm not going to judge
Big companies come here not because people speak reasonably good English but because the tax regulations are designed to be very nice for them. The EU and other international bodies complain about that a lot.
As others have said below, the tipping really isn't an attitude thing. In a way the tip is implicitly included in the bill already. As a waiter in the USA you get a different deal financially, leading to a reliance on tips that simpy doesn't exist in the Netherlands.
+Steven Goossens (stiro536) We tip if the service and food is good (not in fastfood). A normal tip in the Netherlands is then 10% of the bill. A difference with America is that waiters in the Netherlands have a minimum wage and are not depending of their tips. In my opion a better system, because u get then better service and the waiters are sure they have a descent income ;)
Great facts! I think In Peru we used to buy fresh bread but with all the Malls that cuture is slowly disappearing. : ( tHE Mc Donald's portion most foreigners had experience that..I think
I agree with you with the space, my gf is american and she lives in spokane. The first time i got there i was like.. Omg there is sooo mutch space, .planty of yard around the house. No problems with parking your car ect. . Your dutch is good btw.
Well, we do tip ofcourse, mostly between 8-12% of the price of the served dinner, it is however not a mandatory or included in the bill itself, you can decide for yourself
A recent survey asked 5,000 middle income Europeans the following question. "If you could move to the United States and be guaranteed a good job for life, would you go?" Over 85% said NO! Tells you something, doesn't it?
As an American. The reason I've gathered for our "huge" food is that we want the meal to suffice for at least 8 hours. The thing is, not many American's (especially American women)eat everything we're given upfront. We keep the rest as leftovers. And it's no secret that we LOVE leftovers.
Nice vid, quite accurate. We do tips however, but it's not mandatory, it's more like a custome, mostly between 8-12% of the bill. We just don't add it on the bill itself, so it's more just to add it yourself as a guest.
I would love to live in the Netherlands I eat at home in the USA, so I would do the same most of the time in the Netherlands. Also, I bike to work and the grocery store, with my 21 month old kid as well. When I visited it felt like home in Amsterdam. I need to visit more areas. Particularly the best areas for living car free and cycling. One day we can rent our house out and move there.
+djkenny Why not visit Eindhoven one day? I will be your guide and show you everything about this city, and the city has his own motto: Eindhoven de gekste (Eindhoven the craziest)
If you want to live car free you should go and live in the north\midwest the rest of the provinces are really busy. Also almost my entire school bikes to school :) like 1000 people, and if you go by car your weird :P
Nowhere do they serve portion sizes like in the US. That's why we have "doggie bags" to take food home. The restaurants get better discounts if they buy more and so they push more food out.
Space yea offcourse its the biggest diffrence but elso food the Dutch are kind a soft when it comes to kitchen not ment to be rude but we make everything out of a package with instruction at the back see maggi or Knorr. you don´t have that in the states either they just cook things. And a cool thing in Holland brick houses we got enough clay in the states its way to expensive for most houses.
How long have you lived in The Netherlands and do you speak the language a bit? I'm from Holland and I'd love to live in the USA for a little while. I do defenitely think that I'll miss traveling by bike, because it's so easy + you get a little workout hahaha.
+MICHAEL DAVIS 1. Have raw fish in your diet. Swedes have surströmming, Icelanders have kæstur hákarl, Norwegians have rakfisk, Koreans have hongeo, Japanese in the cold mountains have kusaya, the Nenet of Siberia eat raw fermented fish and the raw fermented guts of animals they keep, the Dutch have raw herring, and if in season the fatty ones, called Hollandse Nieuwe. If you need to up your cold resist you need to eat raw fermented fish. 2. Iceskating. This one is not required but very helpful. If you lack access to raw fermented fish you can always substitute with steak tartare, raw of course, with a raw eggyoke on top, I reccomend some capers and raw sharp onion on top for flavour. A breakfast of some salo with onion and a bit of Kimchi on the side is also a viable substitute.
We Dutchies ride our bikes in every season. We dress for it. In the winter we wrap ourselves in thick, warm coats, gloves, scarves etc. I don't have a car. I have a bicycle ;))
i've lived both in Canada ( Toronto ontario) and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands the prices of grocery shopping are much cheaper then in Canada and i think also cheaper the in the USA ... 2Liters milk NL = 0.98 euro canada= 4.50 CAD,.... and how much in USA (1/2 gallon) ..... in 2010 Dr oetker frozen pizza in NL 1.53 ( now 2.39) euro Canada = 6.50 CAD and USA ?? and not to mention the in NL the tax is included and north america is not ( BTW, PST/GST VAT)
Dutch waiters usually make better money than US ones, so tips aren't part of their pay. Also, tipping in Holland is seen as being a bit of a suck-up. Waiter will probably think 'What? You want preferential treatment now?'
Over the past few decades we value free speech alot. It doesn't matter what cultural background people have. Reasoning is embeded in most of the people in Holland.
julia noa We do! The difference is that in the US a tip is basically a normal thing, when I was there they had it printed on the receipt.. It's basically 5% of your total ammount that you ordered (right?!).. In the Netherlands its common that the wages for people working in the service industry are higher, so tips are not required. That's the difference. Usually people do actually give tips tho.. Perhaps not poorer people (students, younger families etc.) but in general people will give tips when in a restaurant for example.
Not paying waiters/waitresses a decent salary.. that's cheap, America! Not tipping a little cash is lame, but waitresses depending on a 10 or 20% tip for their life, that's where it's really wrong.
+Hans Zandt depends what you're talking about, Europe is definitely better at keeping the ecosystem clean and have less crime, whereas america has a bigger GDP
Our small- and friendly guideland can always remain a beautiful source of inspiration for any powerful nation in our sort of desperately seeking global village. As long as we remain focused on human-interest and -values rather than boosting our money, -wealth and -economy.
For all those who want to compare The Netherlands to the United States. The Netherlands is slightly less than twice the size of New Jersey,.... Yes it is that small.
Always interesting to hear non-Dutchies speak their mind about The Netherlands. Gives me personally a slight sense of pride
first time I heard a positive thing about the OV chipkaart.
😂
We speak english very good in the Netherlands? Make that the cat wise.
Nederlanders cannen not english speaken
Santos Astronaut no indeed there are we not very good in, with our earthapple english
Welp, my English is on point, but that's because my study is English ;)
Gerwinos99 Ik wed dat jij een grappig accent hebt zoals alle nederlanders met hun gebroken engels.

We don't do tips because the average wage for a waiter/waitress is 7 euro an hour. That, and we're stingy.
Maybe you are but I and my family always tips the waiters
Do you tip the servers the American 20%, though? I could have phrased it better, I apologize.

Why we give less tips is because that is already in the price and in amerika not
nice movie, love to see more of this.
Your dutch is pretty good and funny LOL
As an American. The reason I've gathered for our "huge" food is that we want the meal to suffice for at least 8 hours.
The thing is, not many American's (especially American women)eat everything we're given upfront. We keep the rest as leftovers.
And it's no secret that we LOVE leftovers.
The thing you are saying are true. I live in the Netherlands and it's normal for us indeed☺️ Nice vid
actually we do give tips in restaurants but the difference here is you gotta earn your tip as in america they expect you to tip if im correct
NEDERLANDDDDDD!!!!!

Nowhere do they serve portion sizes like in the US. That's why we have "doggie bags" to take food home. The restaurants get better discounts if they buy more and so they push more food out.
Space yea offcourse its the biggest diffrence but elso food the Dutch are kind a soft when it comes to kitchen not ment to be rude but we make everything out of a package with instruction at the back see maggi or Knorr. you don´t have that in the states either they just cook things. And a cool thing in Holland brick houses we got enough clay in the states its way to expensive for most houses.
There is a new rule in the netherlands that shops can't provide free bags because it is a waste

If you need to up your cold resist you need to eat raw fermented fish.
2. Iceskating. This one is not required but very helpful.
If you lack access to raw fermented fish you can always substitute with steak tartare, raw of course, with a raw eggyoke on top, I reccomend some capers and raw sharp onion on top for flavour. A breakfast of some salo with onion and a bit of Kimchi on the side is also a viable substitute.

Not paying waiters/waitresses a decent salary.. that's cheap, America! Not tipping a little cash is lame, but waitresses depending on a 10 or 20% tip for their life, that's where it's really wrong.
I am moving to den haag next year, any one know the pay per hour for construction trades, plasterer[ stukadoor], carpenter?
America has just way to big portions
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
People do tip, it's not required or expected though.
On second thought, maybe it's only the tourists who tip... lmao
we do give tips!
iemand nederlands?
America is so large and diverse there are plenty of people that live close together and plenty of people that drive bikes this doesn't make sense
True. The us is best compared to all of europe. Germany for exaple they drive alot more and serve food in bigger stocks
+Hans Zandt depends what you're talking about, Europe is definitely better at keeping the ecosystem clean and have less crime, whereas america has a bigger GDP
i live there its just normol xxl hamburgers
Very good compared
They do tips, but just like everything.... smaller :-P
There are tips in the netherlands
Our small- and friendly guideland can always remain a beautiful source of inspiration for any powerful nation in our sort of desperately seeking global village. As long as we remain focused on human-interest and -values rather than boosting our money, -wealth and -economy.
Tips in the Netherlands is voluntary.
For all those who want to compare The Netherlands to the United States.
The Netherlands is slightly less than twice the size of New Jersey,.... Yes it is that small.
Yes.. i really want to see how nice👍 beatiful have in netherland❤💙💚🙏

+Pjof S That is just not true, the trains are 95% on time.
+Coen not in my experience, 90 % at most I think even less
