Do people in other countries complain all the time? I live in the U.S. and people just seem to whine and complain about just about everything almost.

I work retail so I might notice it more than the typical American would. I'm just wondering if complaining about everything is just an American trait or is true of people in general.

The effects of inflation hit more than just one's wallet. It can promote stress and anxiety especially when budgets are tight to begin with. That could be a contributing factor. Also, as you suggest, you deal with the average person perhaps more than most.
