Extended reading: matters needing attention in the life of Dutch immigrants

1. Most supermarkets don't accept credit cards. Although many supermarkets in Europe and America can accept all kinds of credit cards, supermarkets in the Netherlands are very proud, and most of them do not accept credit cards except those near tourist hotspots. Generally, it is safest to take a PIN card and cash to the supermarket, and some places don't even accept cash. In addition, when queuing, you should pay attention to whether you need a PIN card.

There are too few varieties of fresh vegetables.

If you think there are too few varieties of fresh vegetables and fruits here, you can look for them in the canned vegetable area, which may surprise you. Pickled cucumbers and millet peppers can be found, as well as canned pineapple and orange in syrup that I liked when I was a child.

I want to buy the most basic first aid kit and standing medicine.

If you want to buy the most basic first-aid items and standing medicines (over-the-counter medicines), it is suggested to ask at the supermarket counter or go directly to the daily chemical store.

I don't like peeling potatoes.

Little friends who don't like peeling potatoes, Dutch supermarkets are very intimate, and almost every supermarket can find peeled fresh potato pieces.

5. receive a small gift

If you receive a small gift when you walk out of the store, especially a football card or something that teenagers like, there may be groups of children talking to you and asking for gifts! If you like to collect these gadgets by yourself, then remember that the supermarket will organize an exchange when the deadline of the activity is approaching, and you can exchange what you don't have with others when you collect duplicate things at the announcement time.

6. After work, the supermarkets are closed.

If you don't live in the center of a big city, you will probably find out after work or after class-all the supermarkets are closed! Even some local supermarkets are closed on weekends, only once a month on Sunday. In many places, it is difficult to find a supermarket that is still open at 6-8 o'clock after work.
