Swiss maybe, but as a Dutch resident who was just in SF for the holidays... SF food is definitely more expensive.

- lumost 2y agoFair, my basis for comparison was the Amsterdam airport. I paid 35 euro for a soggy reheated sandwich and coffee. SFO has 18 dollar poke bowls. Perhaps Amsterdam airport pricing is extensively marked up compared to local pricing (understandable). Geneva was just plain expensive.
- wrl 2y agoairports are always a nightmare! the other important thing to keep in mind is that in the EU in general, there's no added taxes on the bill, and tips are less of a thing here, so there's not a magical 20%+ hidden charge to factor in on everything you order.
- vel0city 2y ago> my basis for comparison was the Amsterdam airport Your basis for how much people pay for groceries was how expensive a sandwich was at an airport?
- lumost 2y agoWe get signal wherever we can :) Boston Logan has about a 20-30% premium on normal groceries. SFO is probably closer to 5-10%. I assumed the premium could not be greater than 50% for Amsterdam airport.
