    It’s a big place and yet the loud, fat American with more money than braincells is indeed the stereotype lol.

      A long time ago I had a job cooking at a hotel in Switzerland (am Canadian). As a more junior person I’d get stuck working buffet stations and lots of Americans assumed the staff didn’t understand English. Anyway, my favorite thing was how the Americans would freak out because menu prices were not in US dollars. Lol. Harmless but indicative of a certain worldview.
