AMS Lounge under COVID-19
Hi all,
Can anyone share your experience in the AMS crown lounge under COVID-19?
Latest info I've found: only non-schengen lounge is operating, only coffee/tea served. How about shower facilities?

I would have thought that cans of beer would be virus friendly.
Just dump a case of Heineken in the lounge and ask customers to serve themselves.
Wipe the can down before use.
No glasses, just drink from the can, then throw the empty can in a nearby recycling bin.

I think alcohol in general is now seen as someone to wash hands with, but not to drink. I am sure this will change back to normal at some point, but in the short term I can understand the logic.

I understand that the shared bottles are a risk. But I don't understand why they wouldn't offer served alcohol, as does the ZRH Aspire lounge which is also used by KL.

Cost cutting, pure and simple. Their financial situation is dire, so they are reducing expenditure in every way they possibly can. Covid gets the blame, even when that makes no sense. For example, on longhaul flights J pax get the same hot meal as those in Y. They could of course serve something a bit fancier in WBC (as far as I'm aware, most viruses do not have a preference for hitching rides on tastier food), but a penny saved . . .

Imagine being pissed of because they closed to gate early with and without 7 beers.
