I'm Danish and I can completely see how you say the service is bad when you compare with other countries, but in Denmark it's considered bad service if the waiter asks you questions that's not about the food. I prefer my waiter to serve me, come back a little later to ask if everything is to my liking, and that's it. So it's not because the waiters aren't nice people or couldn't serve like a waiter in the US does, but it's simply not what they strive for or what is considered good service by Danes ;)

No, its because its Copenhagen. The uh-oh "Big City", remember? Its so cool to be cool and act like you dont care. Most waiters are students, most of them Swedish just taking a job for the summer. He totally nailed that part, he is right. But I agree with you on the small-talk part, we are not Italy. If the waiter comes around too much to check on the food, I suspect he is either hitting on my girlfriend or annoying us so he can clear the table. "Go away, piss off fly!" :)

As a Dane I think your criticism of the service in Denmark is more a cultural issue than an actual Service issue. We Danes love out privacy so much that we consider it service when the waiter only approaches when we ask for them. we don't want to wait for too long but if they come on their own asking if we need anything we will get annoyed. usually if we want the waiter to come down we look at one create eye contact and use the "get over here arm" to signal that we need him. then of cause we expect the waiter to come fairly quickly after that event. and you are correct paying tips in Denmark is almost considered rude. KEY WORD "ALMOST". the waiter will take your money with a smile but will be puzzled to why on earth you would do something so crazy to pay extra... however you need to understand the waiter is already paid for by the price of your dinner. so he won't kiss your behind and lube it up just to get a little extra out of you. this is a service as this behaviour would interfere with out love of privacy.;) but fun to listen to an outsiders perspective.

I agree with you on the tips part. In Vietnam (my home country), tips are not required since it is included in the receipt. I think to Americans, being polite is to reward someone greatly if they did a good job and caring for others' well-beings. While in Denmark (as I heard from this video and some other commenters), I think being polite is to let people have their privacy (kinda the same with Vietnam, to be honest)

If our train is two minutes delay we don't think ''well atleast we've got public transport which will take us anywhere, and is mostly on time'' but instead we're downright offended that the train is late.

Good service is mostly about not waiting to be served, not waiting too long to get your food. Getting your food about the same time as the rest of the table and in general just being allowed to enjoy your meal.

The thing with having "bad service" is that people actually get paid for their job. I'm Danish and have visited the US a few times, and yes, everybody is super friendly but most of the time it just seems fake because they work on tips. Waiters in Denmark actually get a decent pay, and you don't tip (although on tourist places, pretty much only in Copenhagen, people will still accept tips.) That means people get the exact same amount of money no matter how happy they seem. The service in itself is actually pretty good. If you say your steak in undercooked, you'll get a new one. If you paid a wrong amount at a grocery store, they will fix it. No questions asked. But we are very efficient in that way, there is no "Oh im so sorry, excuse me" etc. It's more, what's the issue? Fix the issue.

But especially with Greyhound busses a delay of 2 hours, if traveling 8 hours, is normal (for a 2 hours delay you would get some compensation in the most of Europe). And cancelations of Greyhound busses no one tells you about occure some times - then you just have to wait for the next bus driving 2-6 hours later (Why do you think every american has a car). So yes the comunication could be better (like in Germany), still intercity public transportation runs much more smooth here than in the US

But they pretty much always respond in kind. We like to socialise...we're just really private almost shy ppl. That also reflects with the pricing. The restaurants and like are really expensive, but go to the stores and it's cheap. We spend most of our time at home with friends and family doing the hygge and it's a treat when we go out. There are a lot of things much cheaper in Denmark than the US. Our medical service is entirely free. The expensive things are to us the luxury things ie eating out, going to museums, stuff like that. And when you get to know a Dane, you will find such caring, understanding and loyal people it will surprise you, cuz walking down the street, we can seem so cold and indifferent.

It covers admission to tons of tourist attractions and bus, metro, train and harbour bus fares. We both thought service staff were friendly and helpful. We loved that Copenhagen had free public toilets, even on street corners. We found it to be an extremely walkable city but transit helped save our legs a bit. We used debit cards everywhere and just carried a few kroner with us. After Copenhagen, we stayed in a small city (population of 3000 or so) with Danish friends.

But hey, thats just how we like it, we rarely smalltalk with the waiter - Why would we? We're there to enjoy a meal and the company of our friends, not the waiters. In the US its just often common that the waiters also smalltalk with you. ask to your day, how you are as a person and so on. In Denmark? Well, the waiter asks if the food is good but otherwise he or she leaves you be. That means that to a tourist the waiters and service simply feels "cold", its not something that we as danes usually see, but does not change that there is some truth to it.

Hmm to clear things out a little. When you go to a bar trying to buy beer, it'll cost around 8 dollars, however when you go to any supermarket(similar to walmart) you'll find the same beer at the cost of 1 dollar. The reason why people don't talk a lot to other strangers (unless the situation requires it) is mostly because they have enough in themselves as you pointed out, however if you "break" the wall, everyone will be kind and friendly and help out if you have any questions. As for safety, there is basically nothing to worry about at all. It is said that Aarhus (second largest city) is the safest place on earth. of course it is always recommended to pay attention.They say danish happiness is built on freedom, tolerance, safety and trust. One of the best examples would be that along the streets (mostly a little outside the middle of the city's) you'll find booths/stalls with strawberries. You put 20 dkk inside a case/chest/box and take a tray with strawberries. No is keeping an eye on the booth. It's pure demonstration of trust and would be utopi in most places

You can’t just go to 1 city and assume that the culture in that city is the same for the rest of the country.. You wouldn’t go to Texas in the US and be like “well it’s probably like this all over in the US”

You should not enjoy beers at bars/restaurants, just buy them at the grocery store and enjoy it in a park or the like

I'd say that the only reason the bear was that expencive in Denmark was because he bought it in a Bar, and not a grocery store. That's pretty much the only way it could be that expencive in Denmark. I don't know anything about the Norwegian prices other than what I've heard, but a bottle of beer(unless it's a Special Øl) will cost around 4-10DKr depending on the brand.

the reason why you think danish service sucks, is because here in Denmark the waiters have an actual sallery. In the us, they make $2-4 an hour and live off tips. We don't in Denmark, so yeah, the waiters will not always be as in america where they have to "suck up".. A waiter in Denmark make around $18 pr hour. Depends ofcause.

Well, I've been to America a number of times and eaten out more times than I can count. The only crappy food I had was at an airport on the way back to the United Kingdom. It was a piece of pizza and was dried out. Food in America is among some of the most diverse on earth due to the nature of the country and demand. I think a fairly open minded American would be in a position to talk about food. I'm not in any way insinuating that food in Denmark isn't good. I've never been, and I would never ever say that without having gone to the country first. Even then I would hesitate until I'd eaten there many times. I was just correcting you on your comment that someone because of being American wouldn't know about food. It is one of the food centres of the world! Facts.

Great info. Thanks

After the second Dane rolled their eyes when I asked if they spoke English I never asked the question again and just spoke English except for little things where I knew enough Danish to get by.

Temuldjin 95% of the time i agree. in denmark as well as iceland and the netherlands i stopped asking after a few people but i came across at least one person in each of those countries that when i started speaking english they continued to speak danish, icelandic or dutch respectively. these people might have been polish or russian or something and just felt more comfortable in the language of the country than english. they all did understand me and i knew enough of each language to understand the small things i was doing in each situation (mostly grocery store stuff). so, that said i don't think it is as stupid as asking if they could tie their shoes. i also think that asking if they speak english before you just launch into english is polite while asking if they could tie their shoes is not. wow, i had no idea that my response would be so long when i started typing.

Rule nr 2 LOL :D I am Danish and I approve everything said in this video! - only one correction Beer and alcohol is only expensive in Copenhagen, once you get out to the rest of the country prices fall quickly, it is like any capital city, prices are higher because the land is "more valuable" and requires more rent etc.

Danes do actually have accents, well a lot of os do. An example of the danish accent can be found listening to kevin magnussen (f1 driver)

I visited Denmark in the 80's. I went to a local bank there, and I think I got 800 Croner for my 100 dollars. Its been a while. I agree the coins were used a lot. like when I went to McDonald's there, yes they have that restaurant there. lol I really enjoyed my time there. I spent like a month there, and it is true, they do leave their children outside the door. And one lady brought her dog inside the store. And they also have a nude beach. :) And I did eat lots of Danish. They have LOTS of it, and I tried a lot too.

So much on point tips! More or less the same as in Norway 😊 Good information.

@Thor.Jorgensen

Жыл бұрын

No, he's wrong about that. Tips in Denmark, and in Norway too are part of the price you pay. Meaning if you buy something for 50 Kroner, then 5 Kroner of that price will typically go toward tips. The rate is typically 10% or lower. The reason why the rate is that low is because in Scandinavia we value steady pay over pay from tips. This contrasts to America where waiters can get almost nothing in steady pay and they are expected to make their money almost exclusively from tips, which means if they are not getting any customers, the waiters can end up being completely screwed with no pay. This is just part of Scandinavia's workers' rights.

+Stefan Söderbäck It depends on what you want to see. Natural sites (even archaeological sites) versus famous big cities (i.e. New York City, LA etc.). Tough question, though. Yosemite and Yellowstone National Park are beautiful, but those are natural sites. So, it depends on what you like to see. When I first visited Italy I really wanted to see cities and architecture and archaeological sites rather than natural sites, for example.

And on the highway there's daily 5 car crashes so theres just such Long lines of cars holding still and its mostly in the morning and at the end of work time witch is mostly the same for everybody

Your actually really good at speaking danish I'm danish and I some what understood what you said👍

Great video. If you're an American and is thinking about hitting Copenhagen, I would definitely recommend this video. Maybe because, it's more directed towards WHAT you should know/be aware of (just basic things), and not the DIFFERENCES (where the person behind the video, is comparing things). Maybe even the best I've encountered on the subject

Never ever go to France. if the bus is not late the drivers are on strike. And it is even worse with trains. Here they are always on strike.

I wouldn't say the service in Denmark is bad? I live in Denmark, and I think you might have had a bad experience. Most of the time, the waiters are really sweet and polite :) The reason why everything is so expensive in Denmark, compared to the United States, is that we have very high taxes, often 40% of your salary. The salary is also higher than in the US. Therefore things are automatically expensive.

As a dane I've been to the US many times. The real service difference is not that the service is bad here, but that they don't need to be overly nice and enthusiastic about me as a customer because the tips are not what makes the salary, like Most places in the US. The salary is actually good enough for them not to be all over you, when you're trying to have a meal. I tip most of the time in Denmark if I have one server and they do a great job. Not if I have 4 servers being super enthusiastic and all over the table.

I’m from Denmark, and I just want to add some information about the public transport. In Denmark you have to have a correct ticket for ridding the train or/and the bus. If you don’t have it, you might get a bill. The bills are very expensive (700 dkk). Here in our country the trains are DSB and the busses are movie. Don’t worry you can use the same ticket on both transporters. But be careful, our tickets goes bye zones and not by how many stops you’re going! We are (most of us) will be happy to help you/guide you on buying the right kind of ticket.
