Turning right on a red light in the U.S. is NOT just like a yield. You're supposed to treat it like a stop sign. You stop and if it's all clear, you're good to go.
@bluflaam777
@bluflaam777 5 месяцев назад
Correct, "red" means stop. Most states/ cities will allow you to turn right on red when it is clear and only after coming to a complete stop. (there may be a cop nearby or a camera)

You do not always have to stop before turning. Often times there will be yield sign, which means you do not have to come to a complete stop. Also, there are certain situations when turning left at a red light is legal... Google it.

Nothing happens if you don't tip, except bad thoughts towards you. Just that the waitperson who spent around an hour trying to make your meal perfect is going to go home with about 3$ per hour, and they might not be as nice next time. TIPS stands for To Insure Proper Service.

the highest bill i ever had was $880 and that was without insurance. i paid 250 and the hospital said i was good and i never had to pay more. If you do not have insurance go to a teaching Hospital, They tend to have charities and donors specifically set up to help pay for stuff. emergencies.. it may be harder to tell the ambulance where to go if you are unconscious or if the extra mileage would cost you vital life saving care,... but even then.. i have an uncle who needed open heart surgery and he didn't have insurance and he paid 25 a month for like 2 years and they finally said fk it, and told him never mind. It is easier for them to drop the bill and write off the expense as a tax deduction. usually only the Doctor's fee is required and they often allow payment plans cause other wise they won't get paid. luckily now i have insurance but that's only because the job i have pays for it. i pay nothing out of pocket and the coverage is top tier.

I have supposedly great insurance. 940 a month for me and 2 children. Paid 1700 up front just for a medically necessary colonoscopy a month ago. So if I just would have not paid insirance, I would have gotten a discount for private pay and it would have been 800 dollars. So less than my monthly premium. No matter what doctor paperwork I turned in. So "get inaurance" is not what I would have said at all. And this guy...... He says people get really upset, and this is unusual. But, none of it is like almost anywhere in the world. Like asking for an ID.

As far as asking the locals, the best way is to go to a convenience store, gas station, grocery store, anything like that. Purchase something, even if it’s just a soda, and ask the cashier about the local area. And more than likely, if there is a line (queue), people will hear your accent and jump in to help you. 🥰

Also don't freak out if a dog runs up to you. We're technically supposed to keep them on leash in most areas, but some people don't, and sometimes they get loose. What to understand is that we generally don't have wild dogs that attack people like some parts of the world do. Most likely the dog wants attention and will be shortly accompanied by an owner running up apologizing.

For the ID for alcohol one, some stores have systems where the cashier has to type in the customer's birthday before the transaction can be completed if there's alcohol in the purchase. It doesn't matter how old you are, they can't complete the purchase if they don't know your birthday. It's a little silly, but it's how they cover themselves legally.

It's very common for law enforcement to test out the staff at liquor stores and gas stations by either hiring underage people to try and buy alcohol/cigarettes, or they themselves doing it but refusing to show an ID. It's like a sting operation. It's ridiculous, but that's exactly how places get their liquor license suspended.

Everywhere I go they just scan them nowadays, that’s why there’s barcodes on the back of Real IDs, which all US citizens will be required to have, or a Passport, to get on any plane. Not just international; domestic too. If you want to go from California to Nevada, a hop, skip and a jump in a plane; you won’t be able to get on the plane unless you have a Real ID or a physical passport. . So because of this push for Real IDs, and with it becoming the standard next year; most places now will just take your ID, scan the barcode on the back, and the system will then allow the transaction. It’s way more efficient. You can have a really good fake ID made (also a reason for the Real ID push, to make fake IDs obsolete and nearly impossible to make) and the cashier can still type the birthday and sell you alcohol, and boom; they just sold to an underage child. That’s how they get places, they pay high school students to work with the local police departments, and send them in with fake IDs to try and trick them into selling alcohol. If they just glance at the ID and sell it, boom. They’re going to be fined. . So why keep allowing that to even happen when they can just make everyone get a Real ID that has to be scanned? That’s their logic, at least. Very, very few people will ever be able to replicate the technology needed to make a functional barcode with the qualities of a Real ID. As soon as they scan it, it will either allow the transaction, or deny the transaction. If the transaction is denied; they will refuse service immediately.

You’re definitely exaggerating a lot. There’s definitely a huge motivation to tip if your bill is expensive like a party or an expensive restaurant, but if you go to a cheaper place and don’t ask too much of the waiters then there isn’t much need to tip a lot. Of course it is what they rely on bc they can legally get paid $2 and hour, but if you don’t ask much of them AND they don’t give you exceptional service then they don’t deserve a big tip. If you just give them tip for doing nothing you think they’re gonna get better?

Darwinism. It does happen. There’s a very real reason safety blockades and gates are put up in many spots around the Grand Canyon, and why large swaths of it are illegal to enter for normal people. Because many people have died. Many. Many people have wandered off the beaten path and fallen to their death, or get stuck in a random section of the Grand Canyon a mile or more away from the main tourist area, and unable to find their way out. The Grand Canyon is a big place. It’s truly grand. It’s just like Mount Everest. There are still dozens of bodies lost on Mount Everest, and even bodies that are known about, but are nearly impossible to attempt at recovering. There are some people who died on Mount Everest 40+ years ago, whose bodies still sit or lay frozen where they died, having never been discovered.

right I dislike those little jars like at Starbucks. One local place you order at counter Or online etc. there is a huge jar for the lady who brings your order back to kitchen. Then you sit, and carry it to your table, sometimes they help. I don't mind only because I like her. But hate it at SBucks or Stores, Delis etc. Rude for a waiter to tell. Imo That is bad service.

@@LorraineRarich I think the tip jars a not expected to be used at all.

It;s not really meant to be the same like tipping your server at a restaurant.

Interstates have rest stops with free bathrooms and sometimes picnic tables and sometimes vending machines or fast food restaurants. . Some of these rest stops, during business hours, have free tourist information and brochures. Each state you drive through will have information concerning places to see and go within their state. They want to promote tourism within their state. The best rest stops with lots of information are located a short ways after you enter a new state on the interstate highway. I-70 means interstate 70. They have a specific symbol on maps with a blue or blue and red shield symbol. Hope this helps.

From the Wright Brother's flyer (the first plane ever flown), to the Apollo 11 command module, the Space Shuttle Discovery, a rock taken from the moon (that you are allowed to touch), the Star Spangled Banner (the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the battle of Baltimore that inspired the national anthem), Jim Henson's original Kermit the Frog puppet, and even Abraham Lincoln's top hat.

While we often say "the interstate" generically it's not one singular road. It's a system of major roads. They usually have an "I" at the beginning of their name so like I-20, I-95, I-10, and so on. Even numbers go east/west, odd numbers go north/south. If it's triple digits (I-495 for example) it's a major road that goes around a city and connects to the Interstate highway that's embedded in the name (I-495 goes around Washington DC and is connected to I-95. If you have heard of the "Beltway" in conjunction to Washington DC, 495 _is_ the "Beltway" in that context).

I'm a career server and I've called out people at the start of the meal for not tipping me last time, I've used the you need it more line, I've given someone 2 cents back with a big flourish in front of their date. I've caught someone at the door and asked if they think their service justified no tip, and a bad tip. And I work corporate. I've been fired for it, lectured for it, and most often... nothing, even in corporate restaurants.

Like I've said before Lewis, you should always tip, but the amount is up to you to decide. if I get poor service or the person has a major attitude problem, they are not getting the full amount. So don't feel pressured into giving the full amount. By chance if your server has an attitude about it, that's on them for doing a poor job.

8:46 I cut my knee open with a skill saw (circular saw) and had to take a ambulance three and a half blocks to the hospital and the bill was a little over 5k for the ride and what they gave me in the ambulance (morphine, which was much needed and they wasn't stingy also some fluids and wrapping my leg up). In all it cost me over 25k for the ER, exrays, stitches, medicine, and recovery visits. 8:46

A lot of the major cities in certain states have City Passes now. You get to pick and choose from a list of different activities that you were already planning to do anyway and they will give you huge discounts on the entry fee for those places. I just recently used one for Seattle Washington state and I got to choose the Seattle Space needle, the zoo, the aquarium, the EMP (look it up it's amazing) big discount on my hotel room with free parking and a few other attractions all for $150.00 per person. The way that it worked out we saved over 65% the cost if we had paid for everything one by one.

It's a bit different from the Chili you're accustomed to but it's still very good. That said, there are so many different recipes for Chili that you can't really lump them into a generic category.

We also have green chili in Colorado. In college, a group of us in a program went to visit auto manufacturers in Michigan. Most of the guys never left Colorado (or anywhere over 100 miles of their hometown) so they didn't know green chili was not served everywhere. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Detroit and someone ordered enchiladas smothered in green chili. The waitress asked what that was, and I had to explain to him that green chili isn't a thing in Michigan. Now I'm craving some chile rellenos smothered in green...

Red Green Chile Sauce - in New Mexico, wherever you go to eat, you are asked if you want red or green, they are talking about chile sauce. Sometimes it's mild, sometimes it's super hot! You have to ask, because it all depends on the peppers. Christmas = both, red and green. The picture he showed was from a restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The hot air balloons flickering on and off, that is from the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Every October, starting with the first Saturday, for a full week, hundreds of hot air balloons are here. It's amazing and brings tons of tourism.

Biggest hospital bill Lower back surgery for a herniated disk. Minimally invasive. They cut an inch (~2-3cm) into my back, took a little out, and glued it shut. I was able to literally walk out the same day (show up at noon, surgery was supposed to be 3pm, got delayed because of earlier ones and I ended up getting wheeled back closer to 5pm, woke up ~6:30pm-7pm, got help dressing and went home by 7:30pm) It had two prices. The “bill” and the “what you actually pay after insurance”. The “bill” was ~$69,700. What I ended up having to pay was ~$912 My deductible is $2000, and my insurance basically says “if the procedure is in network/approved, you don’t pay past that deductible”. And I had already paid ~1100 for pre-op doctor visits, MRIs, and lab tests. So I’ll let you decide whether to count it as 900, 2000, or 70000

Fortunately after I had been transferred to a county hospital, the trauma hospital sent representatives from the billing department to help me apply for Medi-Cal; the state's Medicaid program. So by the time I received the bill several months later; having spent about six months between hospitals and rehabilitation centers, my medical expenses were covered.

Regardless of fines and even if you have other confirmation, asking for ID is a required act in and of itself.

I’ve seen a case where a table didn’t tip and the waitress actually followed them out to the parking lot and asked them if they were dissatisfied with her service that they didn’t leave a tip. Also if a customer leaves a penny to the wait staff it is considered an insult. If the customer leaves no tip, the wait staff can surmise that the customer forgot to tip. If the customer leaves a penny, that tells the wait staff that they were unhappy with something while they were there.
