I've always found this very weird in the US. In Europe they come to the table, we tap the scanner and if it's over a certain threshold, you need to enter your PIN. Most larger transactions require your PIN these days.
Not sure why you're spouting complete bullshit and where your basing those statements on.
It pretty clearly states you'll be able to 3D print parts yourself. It's also using a Raspberry Pi inside, which I'm fairly sure you can buy wherever you want, so saying you can only get parts from them is complete bullshit.
Are you a shill for printer companies or something?
Like I said, if they're accustomed to bad infrastructure, why would they expect it elsewhere?
Besides that, tourists often travel in group. Even the best infrastructure can't accommodate a large bus of tourists are once.
I've been to Japan, the more touristy places actually have signs specifically addressing the Chinese on what not to do, so it does point at it being a larger problem there.
Americans and Brits tourists here in Europe do indeed have a certain reputation, but Chinese tourists have such a bad reputation that Brits and Americans are welcomed with open arms.
The biggest problem are the groups though. Any group is going to behave badly, nationality doesn't matter.
And that in combination with how different Chinese culture is in some aspects just has given them a bad reputation worldwide.
It's reminds me of those Blues Brothers scenes where the police vehicles just keep on piling up.
Accidents when foggy/snowy/... happen everywhere but I've never heard of these big pileups anywhere outside of the US. Really makes me wonder what's going on in their heads when conditions are bad.
Doesn't mean people are attentive throughout though. I think it were Netflix execs that are currently pushing writers to constantly reiterate plot points because people aren't paying attention.
Actually had a terrible experience with star labs, not recommended
