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.

As a person who has been to other countries , I can positively say that they do complain, it’s a normal human reaction. But I can also tell you, that Americans have a sense of entitlement that is higher than most countries I’ve been to. The “customer is always right “ culture is very strong in the U.S. , and creates an environment that “ If I’m paying I can be an a$$&ole and that’s alright “ .
