Brit Reacts to STRANGE Things Only Americans Do (And Think It's Normal)

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

1. Only swimmers who compete wear Speedos in the US. Nobody else does. 2. ONE bar that has a shooting range. This is NOT a thing in the US. 3. Those humongous burgers? There are restaurants scattered across the US who feature huge meals and it's a challenge to see if you can eat the whole thing. Sometimes it's burgers, sometimes steak, sometimes humongous buckets of ice cream. It's a novelty. And few restaurants do it and even fewer people participate. 4. I have never seen - or even heard of "freedom angels". 5. Americans aren't particularly loud. Some are, some aren't. I've seen some pretty loud people from other countries... 6. Nobody's "giving a giant middle finger to the rest of the world" simply because we don't use the metric system for most things. We aren't thinking about the rest of the world at all. How absurd!

[@timothyhoster4951]

I was going to point all this. In fact if you look at the sign it is a drive through liquor store. It is not a shooting range or bar. Watching this video tells me he is reacting to a non realistic portrayal of America. I can tell it was made with "AI" and the person that did this was showing the ridiculous stereotypes of Americans.

Tipping story: kinda long. I am a female truck driver (18 wheeler) the steak house was empty except 1 other table. The waitress put her card on my table while I was at the buffet. I did not see her again through my meal. She was too busy talking to her friends at the other table. The line girl brought me my clean plates and drink refills. I decided to leave a penny and a poem. Took a bit for me to make up the poem. I had wrote it down & was digging for the penny when she walked up behind me & asked if I " needed anything else?" 🤔 I crooked my neck and said " little late to ask now" while pointing at the dirty dishes! She huffed off. Poem left: This ex waitress laid this penny down To let you know I did not forget to tip Not 1 time did you come around So this old penny is all your gonna get!! I asked the line girl to show the waitress the $10 tip I gave her for waiting on me. (Not her job) I had just climbed into my Peterbilt when that waitress came storming out and threw the penny at my truck yelling her head off. I left & went to the truck stop. They said they knew the owner & called them. Needless to say...after hearing about my experience....they headed for the restaurant. Karma baby!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Many people who work for the state will have saved a lot of time so they can retire early and get all that extra money. There are so many variations of how to work with what we want to do with our time. Most people who have jobs that they are able just work Mon.-Friends. And have Sat n Suns off every week.

I find the opposite. When I go to a fast food place, I have to tell them "lots of ice" or they don't really put that much. I believe by limiting the ice they think they are doing you a favor (yeah, less ice = more drink) but it's not the way I like my drinks.

[@jbrou123]

@@Troy_In_The_80s Have you crunched the numbers on that? With the price of electricity always rising it would seem like it would cost more to make that amount of ice vs the tea or soda.

[@Troy_In_The_80s]

@@jbrou123 I think I pay $185 for a 5 gallon bag-in-box of Coca Cola syrup. The dispenser lever sometimes gets stuck so it varies on how many drinks you get from a box. Plus it costs another $60 for a tank of CO2 to make it fizzy, and it takes 95 gallons of CO2 for 1 gallon of syrup. A tank holds 50 pounds or roughly 6 gallons of CO2. I'm just guessing so my math is probably a little off. It works out to be around a dollar or so for a glass that's roughly the size of a McDonald's medium drink. While food costs are usually 28% of the menu price, drinks are usually a break-even because of product waste, free refills and employee theft (or employee consumption if you prefer). I'm at home so I'm guessing at these numbers, and I have no way of knowing exactly what my ice maker adds to the electric bill. I think the majority of the electric bill is for the walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer. The cost of electricity is factored into the food prices on the menu, and the drinks are more of a break-even. It cost me 12 grand for the water filtration system which supplies the ice machine and customers who drink water as well as the soft drink dispenser (and tea brewing station) so ice definitely isn't cheap. Plus you've got to dump the ice once a week to clean the bin, but most places never clean their ice bin unless they're expecting their annual health department inspection.

Adding more ice actually keeps the product better longer. If you add say 3 ice cubes, it will melt much quicker than if you fill the glass with ice. The cup will also hold less product (soda, juice, etc) but you finish the product quicker and your drink never gets watered down. With fountain drinks there is an actual science to how they mix the soda water and syrup to ice added in the cup. This is why you will see the line to add ice on the side of the cup at say McDonalds. Its designed for the ice to melt to have a peefect coke throughout your entire meal.

You have to put more ice to keep it cold enough to not melt quickly, then you drink it more quickly because there's less liquid. And yes we have free refills so it all works perfectly.

Just to clarify: You can buy beer and wine on Sundays in Texas, but not 'hard liquor' For take home boxes, it also depends on how your meal goes. For example, I joke with my friends that I can go to a restaurant, like Pluckers (chicken wings). I'll get an appetizer of their Bacon & Cheese fries, then get the same as my side that comes with my chicken, and end up taking the chicken home because I'm full. Also, more traditional sit-down restaurants also being freebees like Rolls. Texas Roadhouse brings fresh rolls with their cinnamon butter. You can quickly get full if you aren't paying attention.

At the end of the night, there were three of us still sitting around conversing. Here comes the waiter clearing off the table and then complaining about how the other people had not bothered to tip. Well, the tip was left out of eyesight from anyone else and placed mostly under the saucer of a coffee cup. That associate, pretty much, was in need to eat crow.

I'm new to the channel but I think I have a weird "Tipping" experience. I worked at a grocery store for a few years. The customers were great to me so I was to them. We were not allowed to receive tips for helping someone find something, helping them to their car, or for any other reason. We were trained to help the customers with something called "Feelings Class" which is just a put yourself in their shoes type of class. I helped a customer find a few items and he claimed I did this every time he asked for help which I didn't remember him but loved to help customers out with whatever I could. He tipped me $5 just for showing him around the store. I told him I wasn't allowed and he told me he refused to take it back. I asked if he was sure. Yes! So I thanked him and turned to go do my other chores. I looked and it was a $50 bill. I panicked and found the guy and told him of his mistake. He said, "No mistake. I meant to give that to you," and refused to take it back yet again. I was dumbfounded. That was more than a day's paycheck at the time...well, this store hated scheduling people so it was more than a weeks pay to boot. Yes, some places in America refuses to let people work there for more than 9 hours a week. Two 4 1/2 hour days is all you get. Food City, btw. That guy helped me out so much. There are a lot of great people like that in America who will help you out just out of the goodness of their hearts. Those small gestures can save lives and I am NOT JOKING. $50 isn't small to me nor a lot of people but it is less than pocket change for others.

If you onky put a couple of cubes in your drink, no wonder y'all think that ice waters down your drink. Because that little bit of ice melts pretty fast and yeah, it'll water down your drink. But if you put a lot of ice in it, it'll cool the drink down enough to where the ice doesn't melt as fast and you'll be able to enjoy a nice cold refreshing drink for quite sometime with gradual ice meltage. But you're right...for people who prefer drinking room temperature "cold" beverages are fucking weird. Just saying. I recently found out that my sister is one of those, and I'm like, "WHAT?!?" Huh? Why?" She said colder drinks hurt her throat or some such nonsense. Pussy...😂 I say the colder the better. Room temp anything sucks ass. Room temp coffee, room temp soda, room temp Kool-Aid, or alcoholic beverage is nasty. Either load that shit down with 🧊 or have it lip burning hot 🔥.

This is for the most part not normal America and not accurate really.

Exactly, this ridiculous!!

The burger was at the Heart Attack Grill. It's a theme grill that has tried to spread, but all of them have failed except for the first. The burgers reportedly aren't very good. Most of the rest of the stuff is not common, either.

Definitely the take home box is very normal in America. In fact, it’s considered to be appropriate. I expect to be served enough for a second meal which I’ll take home to be reheated in the microwave.

As always, these videos are made by people who don't have a clue about anything in America.

6:00 Probably a lot of us have bought a burger that big so we can say we did, but we didn't finish it unless we had a lot of help or worked on it for several days. I've only seen people buy these for YT or TT videos.

I worked at a small mom and pop's restaurant, and a group of about 10 people came in and were rude, and messy. They let their children run around the place like it was a amusement park. After 2 hours of this behavior, they leave the 2 waitresses waiting on them a $8 tip on a $120 bill. My Boss, the owner follows them out into the parking lot with the line cook and a few customers, and get them to give a better tip. The girls made $20 each that night from that group alone. LOL This was in the early 2000's.
