[In all fairness, when someone is acting normal they fly under the radar, and you can't even tell where they are from. There are tonnes of undercover Yanks in Europe, quietly enjoying the place.]
Francine P., from Sydney, Australia, chose to tell me I was wrong, and had a "sucky attitude".
Okay, add Australians to the list.
For several years I worked part time at a restaurant as cashier/bookkeeper. Europeans don't tip. The English sneer (and don't tip). Americans have impossible demands (and frequently don't tip). I often had to explain to the staff at the end of the evening that it wasn't that our tourist customers actually wanted them to starve, they were just odious people.
Australians, as is well known, are usually drunk.
And don't tip.
Plus you ALWAYS need to use the bathroom.
Please pee before you come.
Thank you.

As a former receptionist for a boutique hotel on Post St, I can attest that Australians enjoy their booze a tad too much. We eventually had to expel them from the establishment.
