    I think this person pointed out the only good reason America abuses its citizens to the point that the masses are too broke to travel…

    I’ve seen an usian tourist argue with a waiter because his carbonara was not the right carbonara: it didn’t have chicken and the chef refused to add ground beef to it.

    I’ve seen another one ask for pasta with ketchup and being asked to leave the restaurant as they didn’t even have ketchup and the chef refused to cook for them.

    In Italy, most visited cities have started to hate tourist on a singular basis: those coming from the US are, without rivals, the worst ever tourists that can visit the country.

    That’s not to generalize, I’ve known some US tourists that were wonderful people, and I’m even friends with some that I can’t wait to see again. But the general rule here is that if there’s a tourist being an asshole and letting everyone know about it, chances of them being usian are extremely high.

      And the whole restaurant clapped?

        No, this is not a rare thing to see. It happens quite often in touristic areas.

        What a roller coaster.

        Indeed, I wasn’t generalizing, not all usians are awful tourists, but most awful tourists are usians. Not my fault if your reading comprehension is not that good or if you are salty about something I said because you got offended. If that’s the case, tho, I don’t really care, looks like I hit a sensitive spot.

    Ok? It’s…not Olive Garden, though. No shit, it’s not Olive Garden, congratulations on having eyes. Now would you like some Italian food?

    I went to Croatia and had Mexican food. If I had said it’s no Chevy’s, I would not be lying. Some of the worst Mexican food I’d ever had. I can’t say I’d expected much. I got a laugh because the Aussies I was there with thought it was great. I ordered fajitas, and I got a quesadilla with bell peppers in it 😂.

      Im Central American and that’s my fear about moving to Europe. I won’t be able to get the products from home as easily and cheap, will there be any good latin American food?

      Your post from a few days ago put a bug in my head and now I’m rewatching GG too, thanks for that. Ironically, loudly comparing every restaurant in Italy to Olive Garden is a hell of a Sophia style troll move.

      The food in Italy was so amazing. Even after pasta, pizza, pasta, you never felt like you had a big ass ball of dough in your stomach. Way different ingredients than USA. USA sucks for food quality most of the time.
