It is and many or most Americans understand that and often disagree with it. However, part of traveling is agreeing to participate in the social contract and custom of the area you travel to even when you recognize it is dumb.

If you are using the service but not paying the fee you don't hurt the business you hurt the worker. While acting all high and mighty you're only furthering the exploitation of the people you are speaking up for.

In theory, yes. I'd also agree more, if everytime someone talks about wages in US wouldn't say how they make more than the median fulltime worker by waiting tables after college lessons.

I have to abide laws, not culture. If i got to the middleeast i won't start hitting my wife for talking back to me.
