First of all, let's try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I'll start: for me it's the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

This is not the norm really. I drive < 10 minutes to everything I need on a daily basis. I'm sure there are places like this but it's not the norm.

I drive < 10 minutes to everything I need on a daily basis.

Driving is the important thing here. In Europe in most places you don't need to car to reach basic necessities in a reasonable time. Over here we can walk or drive by bike and have everything basic we need within a 10 to 15 minute range.

I can reach everything I need in 10min by walking.

My GP is a bit further, 10min by bike, but I've been there for 20 years. I might as well go to the doctor around the corner.
