    Why would they assume that? America is famously a shitty country for workers. You’d have to know nothing about the country you’re visiting to not know that

        Because they were too stupid to check the local customs before the trip. And it shows, not only with the tipping, but with a lot of problems they cause.

          So its safe to say that they assumed…which is what MnemonicBump is vilifying the whole world for doing in the US.

            Literally what everyone else said, we’re an uneducated shithole. Europeans should know that. I’m not vilifying the rest of the world, I’m holding them to a higher standard, because once again (and I cannot emphasize this enough), the U.S. is a bad place to be. Listen to your travel advisories, they’re actually minimalizing how bad it is

              So you think football fans that would go to the USA under the current political situation are the best and brightest from other countries?

              Are you saying that because the US is known to be a shothole in general, people should know/assume this very specific thing? You can not make decisions on knowledge you do not possess.

                No, I’m saying that people shouldn’t be surprised when the customs are different in the country they didn’t research because they thought they understood it well enough from the memes

        Because it’s normal to learn some things about the country that you’re visiting before you go, and it’s not a exactly a secret that the U.S. isn’t doing well right now

            Whether or not a country has a tippsung culture is one of the first things that basically any travel brochure will mention, so yes. You should know how to order and pay for food in the country you are visiting. It’s very basic stuff
