First of all, " implications" are.quite.subjective
Not in this case. Your self-described behavior is bad enough. You walk out of a bar because the bartender doesn't know what you mean by a martini? When he's willing to ask you and escalate to someone else to help you? Yeah... I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. If you actually travel extensively and still act that way... I now recommend less travel - since you're just making the rest of us look bad. I should have assumed this based on the fact that you decided to open a forum post to complain about the service in the first place.
I'd have to ask how extensive your travels might be
Significantly beyond what you describe for yourself - both domestically and abroad (military family growing up and a little service myself... extensive business travel... and frequent holidays to Europe to visit extended family). When I travel, I order their food, not try to get them to make what I can get here (with the notable exception of some excellent Chinese restaurants in London and the Swedish meatballs that I just had to order when Ikea opened a new location outside of Pisa a few years ago). If it isn't what I expected... then I assume that it's my fault - not theirs - and try to expand my palate.
always amuse me when, the.fact, is, more Americans have visited Europe than the other way around.
Interesting that it amuses you... since it isn't true. Travel by Europeans to the US is moderately higher (about 20% last year) than the other way around.
