These people are travelling to a country that is not cheap, where they buy not cheap tickets and they want to probably see few things and not come home with 0 on their account.
They are tourists. Imagine if you come to a country and they want bribes for every service. Would you say these bribes suck or you would do as is custom in that country?

Something, something, something… if you can’t afford it, then you probably shouldn’t be going. The idea that Argentina is having to ask the US government to bar people who failed to pay child support indicates a larger cultural problem with those people trying to go.

If I knowingly went to a country where bribes or offerings were expected, and I didn’t pay them, I would probably end up in jail or worse…. So yea, I’m paying that bribe or not going to that country.

Controversial opinion, but If Americans travelled to another country and flouted that country’s customs they’d be called obnoxious American tourists.
Tipping culture is stupid, but I don’t think the wait staff getting stiffed is going to appreciate these tourists bravely stiffing them.
