It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
*More of an American thing ftfy
I can’t hear you over my strict antimonopoly regulations
It was a thing in the UK for a bit as well, but they seem to have backed down in the last few years.
I used to have to pay extra for hotspot data until the last few years in the UK too.
You guys are really screwed importing all US shit f*ckury culture. and now you are even double screwed after brexit.
Meh, it’s not as bad as some people will have you believe, in the same way I don’t believe the US is probably as bad as all the news coming out makes it look.
How about tipping, I hear its making its way to becoming as common place as in the US.
Not really, most people in the UK used to tip at a sit down place anyway providing the service wasn’t naff. There’s no “acceptable percentage” like the US though and restaurants still have to pay at least minimum wage so tips are an actual bonus not just shoring up underpaid staff. I noticed a lot of takeaways charge a delivery fee post Covid since people don’t have cash anymore so the drivers were probably not getting the tips they used to. Never seen it for fast food and the like yet though.
