What's wrong with Europe?

My cousin recently got back from visiting Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany, and she said that everybody walks really slowly, the Spanish go on siesta in the afternoon and all of the businesses close for hours, the food is terrible, everybody rides bikes, and waiters at restaurants are only there to bring you your food and never check on you.

What do you do if you want another drink? Play hide and seek with the waiter and look around the restaurant for him? Or do you just go in the kitchen and get one yourself?

They do it in busy restaurants to pester you to finish up and leave faster. Spaniards from my recollection tend to hang around for hours after their meal talking and not ordering anything extra. This takes up a table and loses the owner money.

>>69453670
You talking about hip hop thug culture? Remove American TV channels from Belgium I guess. I don't know how else for you to avoid it.

>>69453781
its called "sobremesa"
people let the food rest for some time after they finish eating, and talk
its what people usually do, spaniards would be surprised to hear that they actually want them to leave
>>
>>69453781
>They do it in busy restaurants to pester you to finish up and leave faster.

Nope. In most places they were empty because it was during the middle of the week. They just approach you with their fake smile asking if everything it's ok. It happened to me in Greenwich, the City and Cannary Wharf.
>>
>>69454016
yes well it's not tolerated in a busy restaurant where a couple of spaniards refusing to leave will cost the owner money
>>
>>69454092
Are you from London?
>>
>>69454048
but you admit that you had finished your meal and were just sitting there talking right? Even if it was not busy, owners don't want people just sitting there mooching a table without any food/drinks in front of them

>>69454123
far from it

Many times I was just finishing my first course, and I was alone most of the time. And btw, most of the brtibongers were much more slower, having one course and chatting with their coworkers while having one drink when I usually had two. Btw, most of the time waiters were surprised because I left large tips. Even an italian girl asked me if I was ok with that. Jesus, didn't know you were so scottish.

An inconvenience indeed, but worth the charm of siesta.

>the food is terrible

Outright lies, Spanish food is great, only Italian is better. And when I was in Amsterdam, food was good too. If you don't like Dutch food they have thousands of restaurants serving food all over the world. Dunno about Germany.

>everybody rides bikes

Which is great. Good for fitness, good for clean air.

You are not an infant, convey to the waiter you want their attention. There are several ways to do this, subtly signal with your hand sometimes combined with your voice or facial expression.

In europe you're generally left to dine in peace without waiters pestering you.

America is so 3rd world the waiters get minimum wage (muh freedom), so they're forced to cuddle the customers to the point where they'll offer to jerk you off under the table in the hope that you'll leave a tip, thus allowing them to have enough money to afford bread and go on another day

Why do Anglos call our lunch break "siesta"? Serious question. People assume we fall into a coma during that time but we're actually eating.

Same with small businesses that close. They're having lunch and a "sobremesa", not sleeping.

>>69469827

I'm not talking about the hospitality industry, but just average waiters in restaurants, bars, chiringuitos or whatever.
Most are seasonal workers but often good.
>>
>>69472768
I know. I've taught at a hospitality school and waiters, cooks, sommeliers, hotel directors, etc. are usually taught in the same institution and learn a common set of skills, that is why the standards are quire good overall. Many of them are seasonal workers but most have taken some brief course (unemployed people have access to free vocational training)

i've never been to Spain, a lot of Poles goes there for vacation, is it a tourist trap? I mean the southern coast? would it be better to visit the north coast for quality beach relaxation? The water there is probably much colder tho.
>>
>>69473537
Yes, the southern and eastern beaches are very tourist-trappy and not what I'd call quality tourism. I understand that's what people have come to expect from my country, but beach vacations are not what I would recommend. There are better and cheaper destinations for beaches/sun/relaxation than Spain tbqh and from what I've been seeing the tourism industry is working hard to move away from extensive low-revenue tourism and more towards high-revenue tourism (eco-tourism, cultural tourism, rural tourism and the like).

I get it but I was looking for a quiet nice beaches and sun in a cuntree that is relatively safe.
I don't want rural tourism/eco-tourism, because I'm from a small villiage and I have it everyday.
I've been to Cuba and apart from this commie stuff it's a really nice country, nice beaches, people are super friendly and nice, it's relatively cheap (except flight costs), has nice cigars. I want something like that, a nice sunny and sandy place where I won't get allahuakbared and looked down for drinking liquor in public.

i bet this dumb fucking amerishit ate at mc donalds and then went back and whined about the food
americans also do this a lot: they get completely anal-devastated when they eat their first bite of real food, and realize that for their whole lives they have been eating american dogshit. when they go back to niggerland they have to keep a front or their fellow amerifat would call him an unpatriotic communist, so they go "y-yeah cletus, da food ova dere in yoorop was sheet..."
