Vlaamsch Broodhuys Haarlemmerstraat Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Went to order a take-out sandwich when it suddenly started to rain, so decided to eat in.

The three very uninterested girls that think service means just standing there and gossiping were not pleased with the fact that we didn’t leave out into the pouring rain.

They still gave us the sandwiches in a bag as a hint for us that this was not what they wanted.

My friend than asked for plates and they came with one just for her. No cutlery and not even a second plate for me.

Unaware of how unprofessional these girls were I thought they might’ve not understood that we were going to eat in (even though we politely said so). So when I informed her again that we were eating in and asked for a second plate she sighed, then said the prices to eat in were different and threw a second plate and some cutlery on the table.

When we came in today only two other tables were occupied and the three waitress girls seemed very busy, in a chaotic way. After ten minutes, I walked over to the bar (the same one I walked right past ten minutes ago) and asked them if we could order. Only then did they notice us (the table is only 3 metres away) and the disastrous mess the people that had been there before us had made.

After a total of 30 minutes, we received our food. A basket of bread and a sandwich. There was only one other table left so it was still not busy.

When a new group arrives, greet them. Tidy the table they choose to sit at and ask them what they want to drink. No rocket science. They staff makes great food and is really willing to prepare our orders any way we want but the rest of their serving skills are far from professional. Hence the...
