    So you carefully included every possible level of US government, but still forgot about the entire rest of the world.

      First, many places have a local, state, and national government. Particularly the ones that use dollars and expect an additional tip, as shown on the receipt.

      Stop trying to be offended at everything.

        My country, which has dollars and expects tips, doesn’t. And this read like it was addressing unexpected fees at restaurants in general.

        Stop pretending Americans don’t do this constantly. Everyone who’s not American is very familiar with it, and honestly it’s understandable with how big and self-contained that country is. I might not even have commented if it wasn’t for the remarkable thoroughness short of that detail.

          I presume you’re in Canada. Aside from calling them provinces, and possibly having a different name for your legislative representatives, are you saying you DON’T have a local, state, and national government where my advice would be relevant?

            No, you’re advice was great. I just found the phrasing weird enough to point out. Sorry if it came across as angry.

      The rest of the world doesn’t exist, it’s just a scam made up by the passport cartel to fleece you of your money every few years.
