Americans love to be tyrannical and punitive, particularly with service employees. And business owners are more than happy to grant them that in exchange for lower wages. Feels like a fair trade to me.

It's an interesting cultural thing though. The number of times I've seen people on HN calling for someone to lose their job over a public fuck up rather than treating it as a learning experience for the employee seems absurd.
The idea that you should grovel and always defer to your boss because they're kind enough to employ you is something I've only seen from Americans.

Because that's the reality — most of us can be fired at any time for any reason.
