First of all, let’s try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I’ll start: for me it’s the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

    next to no one gets fixed term leases here, and I think even if you would, after certain time, by law it implicitly changes into an open-ended one

      It implicitly changes to an open-ended one here too, but again, at double the rent. It’s obviously meant to coerce tenants into continuing to sign fixed-term leases and agreeing to whatever new terms the landlord feels like imposing.

      I envy you, that you actually have substantial protection under the law from malicious landlords.
