One of the few places where you can still find service in Holland is in the phrase "Out of Service". It's everywhere. And the best way to bump into it is to look for an ATM (a.k.a. PIN machine).
A friend of mine who's been living here for much longer than me told me that when he moved from the US (we're talking early Nineties, not pre-war) there was no such thing as ATMs (a.k.a. PIN machines) in Holland. That says a lot about the disastrous state of service here and how backwards the service culture has always been.
Maybe I 've just been unlucky, but I have the impression that the state of ATMs today has not improved that much. In fact, it's probably getting worse. I live in a neighborhood (South of Westerpark) where they're constantly building new apartment buildings so the population in the area is obviously increasing.
But in two years the number of ATMs in area dropped from 4 to 1.
If I count the extended area of Jordaan+ South of Westerpark, the ATMs dropped from 7 to 4. Now if you consider that one or two of them are probably out of service (don't ask why), you have the infamous Lenin Mausoleum Effect: ridiculously long queues that you wouldn't expect to find this side of Trabantland.
Of course, what doesn't help is that the average Dutch person takes 20 Euros out at a time, which multiplies his visits to the few working ATMs in the country. But that's another story.
