Vakantie in the Netherlands

Over the last few weeks, a number of signs have popped up in our neighborhood stores.

At the Butcher

At the Opticians

At the Cheese Shop

All Around

What do these signs mean? Well, many businesses close for a week, two weeks, or even a month to give their employees time off for vacation. Even though it's frustrating when you head out to buy something specific, just to find that the store is closed, it's nice to see businesses valuing family time.

What do you guys think? Is it an inconvenience or a needed benefit?
