Apple and Google Face Growing Revolt Over App Store ‘Tax’

I love Chinese service. I hate feeling obligated to make small talk with the waiters. "Is everything fine?" Fuck off, I'm trying to talk to my friend here.

I hope you are exaggerating a little for fun. Asking if everything is fine isn't really small talk and definitely doesn't deserve contempt.

Yeah, of course I am and I understand it's their job to do that. I really hate it when waiters come interrupt you, but what made you think I'd actually say it out loud? I used the phrase "fuck off" as an expression of annoyance, not contempt.

Now, white people not realizing that different cultural norms are at play and calling Chinese waiters rude, now THAT is definitely deserving of contempt.

If everything isn't fine I'm just never coming back. Though I don't have that problem often because I have a high tolerance.
