  • Hm, actually now I do remember countryside Netherlands (achterhoek, to be more exact) has (had?) farmers selling their potatoes, strawberries or other produce just by putting them all on a big table next to a road, and putting a sign saying how much they cost with a little plastic container to put your cash in.
    Also no human supervision, whatsoever.

    Though I haven’t seen them as much anymore, and quite some seem to have been replaced by vending machines or disappeared completely…















  • TBF I also felt Swiss people are much more trustworthy than most.

    I even remember having going out for dinner and the person behind the counter asking what we ordered; seems like a lot of restaurant ordering systems don’t keep track of orders because you can trust people being honest when they re-state their order at the counter.

    I’m from the Netherlands, also in a very walkable city (Utrecht), and students would vandalise vending machines if they existed!
