I think if there is anything that is truly American, its the expectation that customers and companies are always trying to trick each other. So much of American business culture is built around this assumed adversarial relationship.

- jtms 8y agoI think this perspective might be your own personal biases at work... this pattern of adversarial business relationships seems to be fairly evenly distributed across the globe. I would go as far as to say it is likely just a fundamental human behavioral tendency when it comes to dealing with scarce resources.
