    America once again showing the world what a dystopian shit show it is. People are travelling to what they think is a developed country and so rightly assume all workers are paid a decent wage. Certainly European visitors would assume that. Highlights once again the need for a minimum wage and union support for workers.

      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 villifying 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
