These things shocked me in America! But what shocked you if you've ever been to Japan? Let me know and thanks for watching!

[sselemaNrM]

As an AMerican, i never understood the gaps in stalls either. It's stupid

[bebopblues]

That's all you seen at Walmart? you are blessed..

[Daemocles]

In America we pretend we cannot see through toilet stall gaps, the same way Japanese pretend they cannot hear through rice-paper walls. lol

The thing is when you go to a fast food restaurant you either have the overly energetic one or the one who’s dead inside.

[tracychristenson]

"Take a penny, leave a penny" is partly about getting rid of extra change so they don't weigh down your pocket or purse, but it's also doing a favor for someone else because, if you're a little short for paying your bill by just a few cents, the cashier will take change from the "take a penny, leave a penny" box to main up the difference. That happened to me once. I just needed a few more cents because I was short on change, and that helped me!

Rule #1 don’t eat fast food that is inside another establishment.

[MrJest]

Trust me - Americans hate those "industrial" toilet stalls, too. The reason they are used is because they are cheap. That's really all there is to it. Cheap bathroom fixture design.

[peony]

“When I went into Walmart...” well that was your first problem, lol.

[LiveFreeOrDieDH]

Toilets designed to be "handicap compliant" are typically taller than others because lower toilets are more difficult to sit on and especially stand up from. That's why many public toilets are taller than what you would normally find in a home.

[mikexmikex]

In America, people tend to drive a lot in small towns because nothing is ever close together.

[enizahm]

"American sweets are very sweet" That's one of the reasons why we have health issues such as diabetes and obesity in such high occurrence.

[tubularfrog]

I've heard other foreigners speak of the gaps in the toilet stalls, but you have to understand that in the US it's kind of taboo to try to look into these. If you try to spy on someone in the stalls, it's a good way to get a beating.

you were shocked by leggings in America I was shocked by skirt length in Japan. Japanese girls keep their skirts really really short!

[dikardvondoom]

“When I was in Walmart” is the epitome on “What shocked me in America.” Pre-COVID I would go between 1-3 am and just people watch.

[haleymitchell]

My favorite part of Japan was how much privacy I had in my bathroom stall. So much privacy that there is a button that will play waterfall sounds to disguise the poop sounds (I first thought that there a pipe leaking in my stall and got scared aha). However, I don’t miss getting stuck between the door and toilet when entering/leaving. So narrow! Especially with a backpack

"A penny saved is a penny earned". We have the saying too.

[viddergrapho]

"I enjoyed eating real pizza-" *Italy angrily leaves the chat*

[loverofmonstergirls]

The "if you have 999 yen" situation is exactly why the "take a penny" is there. People leave their change behind for other people who may need it more than themselves.

[TebecyBrad]

In America, cashiers and businesses are usually forgiving if you're short one cent anyway and our birthday cakes are far sweeter than most cakes we have here
