Tip your servers and bartenders or go to McDonald’s. Don’t be rude while you’re a guest.

I think it used to be that even Europeans traveling in the u.s wouldn't like tipping culture but recognized the plight of the worker and would tip something.

The Americans have been so offensive, weak, embarrassing and completely subjugated to their own corporations that people from abroad no longer empathize with the worker. They wouldn't be there if it wasn't for their sports game. There's no culture to experience or anything to see.

Americans have made it clear that they refuse to stand against their brand of capitalism and the rest of us want nothing to do with it as mini versions of their bullshit get attempted elsewhere.

There's no reason to respect or empathize with the population further. I don't go there for anything but I wouldn't tip anyone either or spit on them if they were on fire. We've run out of empathy and there has been no benefit to being kind to Americans. It's far better to just not have them in your orbit. They won't help themselves so why should we open our wallets.

Well then stay the fuck out of the country. If you're gonna generalize I'll generalize too.

Only a European could find a way to express their "progessiveism" by stiffing underpaid workers and somehow acting smug and morally superior for it, as if their shit smells like roses.

While the supposed wealthiest country in the world, the USA, is turning into a massive broken MAGA run AmeriKa Last shithole. Your infrastructure is neglected, public transportation (includes high-speed rail) is a big fucking bagel (zero), income distribution is in the shitter, healthcare is a massive dumpster fire, underfunded education system, increasing poverty and there are hungry people. Go piss in the wind and fix your shit.
