American reacts to USA vs EUROPE CULTURE SHOCKS!

Mar 09, 2024
Let's dig into tipping and that can create big problems. Because that's a big cultural difference in the US, we often get asked if you want to take 15 18 20 25, which to us is like, wow, that's a lot, a quarter of the bill, tips only because it's a tip based country or a tip based business. I like how it puts a photo of it because it's a tip base, how big your tip was in that country or tip-based business. You leave them just the tip under control, which used to be very, very different. I mean, my dad just rounded. the bill to the next higher number if the bill was 99 I would round it up to a hundred I think most of our fathers and mothers still believe that nowadays it is changing even here and tips range from 10 percent more if you are satisfied with the service , if the service is really bad, some people just won't tip at all and a lot of people here in the states aren't comfortable with that, but trust me, I am and if you piss me off, that's called goose egging, that's what what you get, you would tip a goose egg, if that happened in the US you wouldn't leave a single penny on a tip I've experienced people running out of the restaurant like what happened what did we do wrong like why you didn't tip so tipping is I never heard I never understood it very differently and I'm curious if they did they certainly got mad they probably posted it on their Instagram and cried well you were an idiot and you probably didn't know you did everything wrong You never apologized, you left in the middle of the meal to go smoke and came back with all our drinks.

It hasn't been refilled in 20 minutes, you know, yeah, you get a chicken egg, so you can go cry. What will you say about it in the comments? Whatever country you are from. I want to read what the average tip is in your country. Now I like this. stay at 18 because it bothers me that it keeps going up before it was 15 then it was 18. now it's 20. and I say no, I'll stay with 18. that seems fine to me and up to 15 for lunch the melody for lunch 18 for dinner unless I really like them if they're really cool 20 okay yeah sure the cultural difference is not only huge but I also consider it evil and that's packaging and trash in general I'm not talking about if you go somewhere where there is take out or you go to a fast food, yes they put it in a paper bag, did you know that the subliminal message on the Wendy's logo says mom mom, it's like the food mom would make at home? if you're in the US or here, but I mean if you go to a restaurant and they generate so much garbage and so much waste even though you're in a restaurant, a quick example, mainly if you have a drink at a bar in the In the US, they put a napkin underneath so that it absorbs the moisture running underneath well.

Alex dropped the beer, I think it's very funny for a minute and let's talk about coffee and the differences in coffee

culture

between the US and Europe already activated, well, they will activate you more, yeah in Europe we don't consider that this is a cup of coffee that's a big gallon of coffee if it's more than a gallon it's not coffee this is a cup of coffee by the way chocolate oh it's so cute or do they have a cup of coffee in this puppy huh, it's served in a ceramic mug, is this what my niece uses at her little tea parties at the bar with her teddy bears, what the hell is that?
And it has a handle the size of a finger. You have a plate underneath. It makes that little noise when you put it down, sometimes you even bring a spoon so you're not having coffee with the queen. Okay, why do you need to be so fancy? You can mix your little espresso, that's how you drink it. Even a gallon doesn't fit in your car, so you can drive and sit. I'll accept that tip for your coffee. It's not from Starbucks, although I won't pay seven dollars for it. I'll go to McDonald's. I'll use the app I'll use the deal I'll get it for a dollar and it's even better soup all day big difference big surprise for us when we go places within us and they just don't serve something like this now wait your horses I know the coffee

culture

in the US it's changing depending on what state you live in, if you live in a city, etc., but still most people think this is coffee and you can't understand it.
It's sad for us Europeans when he says, when he says. We think this is coffee. He just sang. All Starbucks is not like you wouldn't consider that coffee. What would you consider? What is it? It's like cream with a little coffee added. It's cream and sugar with a little bit of The taste of coffee is what it is, I agree and you can't understand this, it's sad for us Europeans, it looks pretty good the way Italians drink it now. This next cultural difference may sound strange, but I think it should be addressed and it is the size of bathrooms and toilets. restaurants and pubs and I'm not talking about the actual size of the seed, but I'm talking about you have a big puppy and there's a bathroom, there's like one bathroom for the whole puppy, where there are hundreds of people and in a lot of bars, pubs.
There is no door in the bathroom, don't ask me why, and the cubicles where you can sit to do number two are very transparent, like there is no privacy, like there is no door at the bottom, like someone is looking and I could see you, yes. that's a little weird and girls talk about it a lot, they're both girls talk about it, it's a little weird that people can actually see you, so that's big, there's a crack in the door, that's basically how you know if There is someone inside. or don't you look at them through the crack of the door you look them in the eyes oh hello are you pooping?
Difference if there's a big pub here it has a lot of bathrooms that's beautiful OMG I would love to not poop in a public bathroom Here in the US if there's another person there because it's like you know you're pooping with them you're not just you, I would love this, look, it's like your own little apartment. Look, it even has an apartment number three, that's where you're pooping in a lot of toilets and you can tell, uh, do you do the business that people need? It's beautiful and looks like a sauna to accommodate many people at the same time and of course I'm just curious what this little contraption is.
It's to the right of the toilet, what is that, it's not the bidet inside the day, no I can't be, how would you sit on it? I don't know what that is to the right of the toilet, business people need to accommodate many people at the same time and of course the ones we mentioned are not the only cultural differences between our continents there are many more we can talk about different units we can talk about different forms of transportation how we move around cities and countries what is that besides that big r r cars and your cars and many more topics so let us know in the comments and then I will watch many more of these videos.
