In fact, American cheese is awful, but maybe I'm spoiled living in a cheese country. Breakfast is never with fresh bread and fresh good meats and cheese. The food, especially breakfastĪlmost everything contains sugar. In my country-and across most of Europe as far as I'm aware-you pay exactly what is listed as the price.
It is also annoying that listed prices are almost exclusively without tax. Why the heck do I need to be partly responsible for a proper salary for these people? Also, it is just annoying to have to calculate the tip every time. Here are the top 4 things they liked least: 1. Besides, I did pay for it so it's nice to be able to take it with me. Here it is normal and I find it very good to not let the food go to waste. You MIGHT be able to get to take your leftover with you in certain places in The Netherlands, but it is really not the norm, and would surely raise an eyebrow if you ask. I can't for the life of my understand why we still have to lean over the steering wheel and get a sore neck looking straight upward at the traffic lights in Europe. In fact, all drinks you order are tiny in The Netherlands and you pay for each one. In my country, you pay the same price for just one tiny cup of coffee.
This is a small thing but really unheard of in the Netherlands. I would be greeted and asked where I'm from, even by someone at the 7-11. Yes, I do like Americans, at least their overall demeanor. People are generally approachable and friendly. Specifically the little nature we have in The Netherlands is laughable compared to the USA. The sheer vastness AND variety of nature and pure wilderness here are definitely unmatched in Europe. Raw, wild and untouched, and-most of all-VAST. (As one person wrote after their first Costco cake experience, "100/10.") And any slight anxiety that might cause is worth it for cakes that are that cheap and that delicious. Multiple people said they'd ordered more than 50 cakes from Costco with their dropbox system and had never had a problem. But as she quickly learned, one does not question the Costco cake ordering system, as the Costco cake brigade demonstrated with a deluge of "Trust the system!" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" sentiments. Truly living in 1802 right now."Įverything she wrote is true. "Oh also," she added, "when I called I had to call the main office bc there was no number listed for the bakery and they told me 'the bakery has no phone'. \u201cOrdered a cake from Costco and their system is from the 1800s, you write what you want on a piece of paper & put it in a box then nobody follows up and you just show up and hope they made it? I tried to call to confirm & they were like \u201cif you put it in the box, it will be there\u201d\u201d - Lucy Huber Huber) This is why people have a serious loyalty to Costco cakes, which writer Lucy Huber discovered when she dared to question the Costco cake ordering process on Twitter. (Okay, 50 people, but still-cake for days.) Like, if you ordered a fancy cake from a fancy patisserie and it tasted like a Costco cake, you'd say, "Oh yeah, that was worth the $$ I just paid." Only at Costco, you'd get that delicious of a cake that would feed a thousand people for just $25. I don't even like cake that much and I can't stop eating a Costco cake. They are the trifecta of awesome-huge, cheap and utterly delicious. If you've never had a Costco cake, I'm so sorry. Costco is known for many things-their employee satisfaction and retention, their amazing Kirkland Signature generic brand, their massive (and addictive) $4.99 rotisserie chickens, their never-going-to-raise-the-price $1.50 hot dog and soda meal and more.īut one favorite Costco feature that might just top them all? The Costco cake.Ĭostco cakes are legendary.
