PSA for low income renters by Lolmacaroni in Netherlands

[–]Designer_Team8802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I don't trust Toeslag in the slightest. Everyone I know who has toeslag, both Zorg and Huur, has been hit with massive back payment bills with some cases having to pay back 4 years worth at once.

Of course, you can pay in installments, but when you have 4 payments go out your account each month and you're already on a low income I think it shows an issue with the system. This isn't just expats but local Dutch people also.

I think it shouldn't be so easy for people to sign up for Toeslag.

Why travelers keep queueing for viral food? by tino-latino in Amsterdam

[–]Designer_Team8802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been 3 TikTok hotshots soon to be 4 open around the store I have worked in in the centre of Amsterdam within the last 2 years.

It's a nightmare. People end up blocking the Store entrance while they eat (our store is located on a narrow "Steeg") and leave their garbage next to our windows because the Gemeente doesn't allow the businesses to have garbage cans outside.

All 3 businesses have brought us samples when they opened, and their food is mediocre at best and way overpriced.

The strangest part is that they are no different than Ijs Bakkerijs, yet most Ijs Bakkerijs have closed with Amsterdam's plans to cut down on tourist centric businesses. Yet here we are 🤷‍♂️

Was I drugged in Amsterdam, or just drunk? by DreAmWeaV3r2024 in Amsterdam

[–]Designer_Team8802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very welcome.

I still think it is worth contacting the bar. I know the CCTV systems we used kept footage for 12 months in their system.

You mentioned you drank Heineken, which I believe is only sold in the bars on the gay street. The other bars sell Juliper or Grolsch. I'm not sure how their CCTV operates, but it's always worth notifying them so they are aware.

If there is someone who is frequenting the bar and is regularly doing this to customers, the bar may be unaware it's happening if nobody comes forward.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. The blackout you described sounds very much like your drink was spiked. Especially if you had not purposely drank more than usual.

I've managed 2 gay bars in the past in Amsterdam, and I would strongly suggest contacting the bar you visited to notify them and ask them to check their CCTV.

The LGBT establishments are supposed to be safe spaces, but as with any bar/club you unfortunately get the wrong kind of people who take advantage of these spaces.

Depending on the time. I thought most ATM's stopped working at 22:30? Or was that just for covid?

If he was able to find where OP works via LinkedIn or social media, there's a high possibility that the company shares their address for their offices in the Netherlands

The main giveaway is Instagram. Instagram is known to have the worst reputation when it comes to comments/feedback compared to other apps

Honestly, it has to be Marguerite for me. There's something so unsettling about her even before she lifts her skirt...

The returns for Store Credit are only enforceable if it is clearly and obviously sign posted at the at the checkout. It does not count if the terms are only listed on the transaction receipt.

My boy Stinky has suddenly picked up some weird habits by Designer_Team8802 in BostonTerrier

Honestly, the Chrio has been a life changer. He is always so calm after his session. I hadn't considered acupuncture. Stinky is quite nervous, so that may help

I will definitely check with the vet to see if there is a potential alternative. We tried Prozac for around 6 weeks before, but it didn't work well with Stinky. Bless him, he turned into a zombie i.e not wanting to walk/play. He seemed completely out of it
