''Having had 307 rides from Dutch motorway petrol stations, I have been asked not to talk with drivers on the forecourt three times (at stations operated by Shell). Much more often I have gotten positive gestures from employees and occasionally they offered me a drink, a snack, a ride (!) or cardboard. Staff in Germany is definitely friendlier though.... Respect and politeness are keywords.''
''I hitchhiked from Amsterdam across the German border to Osnabrück in one day, meeting a lot of incredible Dutch people. Sometimes I waited less than one minute, others I waited for two hours. I had better luck on shoulders of ramps and on local roads than at petrol stations, many people at petrol stations did not want to hear it. Many people bought/offered food. I was also hitchhiking on a holiday (King's Day) which may have made my luck worse.''
