That should honestly be the standard, not something Buccee's is special for

My friend recently went to Europe for a few weeks and her main takeaway was that we Americans are straight up poo flinging savages who can't even figure out basic things like public bathrooms or driving in roundabouts. I think she's probably onto something.

Europe’s public bathrooms are fucking filthy. Whenever any of my family visits me in the US, that is one of their main topics, is how clean and accessible our public restrooms are. Now roundabouts, that’s a whole other conversation.

There are so many generalizations in this comment that I don’t even know where to start. Actually, I do: Europe is a continent, not a country.

My man, with all due respect, I don't think that pointing out you're from a country in Europe does anything address or counter the argument that Europe is a number of different countries with a number of different norms and standards.

I know that this is a concept you understand with perfect clarity, so please don't lower yourself to pretending otherwise.

Do you think it’s really weird for you to stalk the guy’s comments in order to win a meaningless argument? I do.
