It’s a shame that travellers to the US have to learn so much beforehand. After reading this informative site and particularly the forum comments, I plan to be very cautious about where I eat and stay, to make sure I don’t get my food spat upon and bags stolen or gone through. Must be a nightmare for day to day living. I’m surprised there hasn’t been some change in the service industry to introduce proper wages (and higher prices accordingly) to try to limit the extortion by service workers of innocent or ignorant visitors to the USA (as evidenced by the contributors to this site). Sounds as if I’ll need to be more concerned about theft, food contamination/poisoning and poor service in the USA than I will when I travel to India next month.
