Well, it might not seem like a big deal to you, but after more than 10 bloody years of waiting, there is FINALLY a fucking Starbucks in The Netherlands! The cruel irony is that it might as well be inside Fort Knox, because you can only go there if you are flying to a country that's part of the EU - it's at the airport behind security!The other bad news is that my little test of it today showed that at least a few of the Dutch staff have not yet mastered the friendly American Starbucks style:
Me: "Is that my caramel frappaccino?"
Her: "Does that look like caramel to you?"
Me: "Well, yes, it does."
Her: Eyes roll.
So there's still some major work to do there. Hope they open one outside of security somewhere soon... it's about time!

Well, after waiting a few months they are finaly opening up 2 more Starbucks in front of security at Schiphol Plaza. One is across from the Burger King, next to Per Tutti, the other (larger) one will be to the far left at arrivals 3 across from the AH and Hema.
They are supposed ot open up this thurseday, November 15th.
American coffee is by far the worst tasting coffee ever! I can't believe they brought that stuff over here.
Drink some real coffee guys!
