Whether or not service people are nice to you doesn’t seem important, but Americans are generally nicer than, say, any European.

I don’t know if you’d like Japan. Sure, they’re extremely polite, but “omotenashi” basically means “the customer is always wrong” - you get what they’re offering, no customization allowed.

Actually, it matters to me quite a bit. And the fact that that’s the thing you zeroed in on in my comment is exactly what I’m talking about.

You automatically assumed I’m some difficult to please customer- which isn’t the case at all. Obviously you will have to take my word for it, but your response is extremely telling about the attitude that people have these days. You immediately launched into an anecdote about Japan (the fuck?) and how they don’t customize food orders.

Nah, I didn’t assume any such thing.

Lack of customization is pretty much global standard. France for example is the same. If you want to change something in your meal, go cook it yourself, at home. Or just buy what we serve and eat it.
