That's precisely my point. There's a lot of upsides to that. It's often much smoother to get stuff done in the US. People want to solve issues and don't sweat the small stuff. To be more concrete than just Europe, if you take Germany, things tend to be more rigid and set in stone. But it's also changing with more experience interacting with American companies through globalization. And Eastern Europe is way worse than Western Europe which itself is behind the US. In the East you as a customer are made to feel small and the customer reps just want to get rid of you. It's probably a holdover from communism where stores and everything was state-owned so there was no profit motive to be nicer. It has lasting impact even down the generations, though more travel and foreign experiences are starting to change that too.
