Killing mosquitoes with his bare hands while wearing his Calvin Kleins, James can do it all!

American customer service extends to call centers and grocery check outs and people who bag your groceries and chat with you- no tipping even allowed . It’s not just restaurants

[c.s.wallis]

Tipping is NOT the reason customer service reps are friendly in the US. It’s because it’s socially expected. I worked in a customer service post in college which didn’t include any type of tipping—it was part of our training to keep customers happy and coming back. This was particularly evident when McDonald’s came to Russia. The employees were instructed to smile and be courteous.
I remember one young Russian man who said it was the first time that a woman had ever smiled at him—and he continued returning to McDonalds for the next 30 years.

Here in the Southern US, you literally can not live without air conditioning. Pretty much every year in Texas, we have heat related injuries. And amongst the elderly and very young, increased risks of death.

[briankgarland]

She's correct, it's not primarily because of the tipping. Most small businesses don't take tips but still provide excellent customer service. It's primarily about providing a better value over the competition.

When my mom was pregnant, she told my dad she had a hard time cooking dinner during the summer. He bought and installed our first air conditioner for her in the kitchen. Pregnancy raises body heat, so I recommend AC for the pregnant women.

as a mexican american I'm always happy when US mexican culture is recognized! it makes me kinda sad other countries often think america is just hamburgers lol. I live in WA state, nowhere near the border and we still have loads of mexican markets, bakeries, street food, ect on nearly every corner. all authentic. lots of mexican churches. holidays like Día de los Muertos (day of the dead) are also celebrated here too

I just converted my central ac to an HVAC zoning system. It divides your home into multiple zones, each controlled by its own thermostat. I love it.

[lisanadile]

The pool in my old home town was paid for as part of town services and staffed by people employed by the town. Essentially the residential taxes you pay to the town took care of it. They paid some high schoolers who were on the swim team to be lifeguards. You had to rinse off in the facility shower before you went in, which was fine.

Customer service: Millie says tipping is the only reason we are nice...but the girl in the video said CUSTOMER SERVICE INCLUDING RETAIL etc..
Stop w the tipping thing, its customer service in general
..the grocery store, post office, retail stores...people selling shirts and filling your prescriptions don't get tips...they just genuinely want to do their best at their jobs. Its a pride thing ❤.

[ms.y.fromphilly]

Your trained to be polite, you’re representing someone’s company/business. We’re also raised to be polite.

Hi James and Millie,
Feli’s channel was originally called “German Girl in America” but when she found out that another woman owned the copyright to the name, she changed it to “Feli From Germany”. That is why she blurred out the old name in all her previous videos.
Anyways have a great weekend,
Marc K

To answer your question about pools: Cities maintain public pools. Those include life guards on duty, cost a few dollars to get in, or you can usually buy a season pass wristband if you have several kids that will be going to the pool all summer. They also have changing rooms and a snack bar.

For apartment complexes, those are included in your rent, have no life guards, you swim at your own risk, and you just change and have your snacks from your own house.

There also private country clubs which I'm sure England has as well. A waiting list and entry fees to join, often require sponsorship from an established member, have private golf, tennis, racquetball, and swimming, fine dining, etc. Those usually have some provision for established members to bring a few guests on a limited basis.

[Taizu]

I’m an American and yeah, I like to crank the AC in my room pretty much every night in the summer. It cuts through humidity better than fans.

[blanketstarry]

Waitstaff will be extra friendly because of the tips, yes...but, friendly customer service extends well beyond tipped service. I think friendly customer service is part of our culture because being friendly is part of our culture. Almost everyone that comes to visit the US comments how friendly Americans are on the street, in lines at stores, just about anywhere. That friendliness overflows into customer service.

[ricksharpe]

Some things are blurred on her older videos because she had to change the name of her channel due to someone claiming copyright infringement on the original name (German Girl in America). So logos and other graphics with the original name had to be removed.

[cyirvine]

The essential thing I like here that she mentions is how open and friendly people are, customer service or customers. I've met new friends while standing in checkout. It's really nice to consider everyone your friend. 🏊‍♂️ I pool's! Civic pools are usually pay per use, less than a dollar. There are also lessons and racing/ diving teams. My family has a pool at home but also use the public pool to compete. Flying over southern California you see all the blue spots of pools. LOVE IT!

[mermaid]

Millie.. what is nice about central AC is that you have your heat controlled from the same spot, too. Having an HVAC & one system that all uses the same duct work is convenient & comfortable.

[eddiepearl]

Central heat and air is great. Modern systems you just set temp and it will cool or heat air as needed year round. Also no stale air and air is filtered so it knocks down on dust and allergies.

We went to Phoenix, Arizona to see the Mariners play the Diamondbacks one weekend when it hit 121 degrees (49.5 C). We had a 10 block walk to the stadium in that heat. When we walked into the stadium, I said to my friend, "Jesus Christ, it's freezing in here. Why would they make it so cold?" Right as I said it, my friend pointed up to a giant digital thermometer on the wall. It was actually 90 degrees in there. So strange. We experienced an instant 31 degree drop and our bodies were confused.
