I always find bullying of service workers solely out of a sadistic thrill to be disgusting
It's a huge red flag too!
its not if you are the one doing it.
Well karma will come around, don't worry.
Hopefully exactly as disgusting as the freshly plucked pubic hairs, snot and jizz that surreptitiously ends up said abusive douchebag's food on a regular basis.
Karma's a bitch.

I took a girl to a restaurant and she pulled the same thing. Treated the wait staff like crap and was just nasty. I Did not finish the meal. I payed and told her I'm out. Find a ride home. And did it in front of the staff. Best thing I ever did.

Damn straight. I worked at a Taco Bell in high school and there were three sisters they were older Hispanic ladies and they played zero games with peoples attitudes. And what they would do to the burritos of assholes almost makes you wish they just spit in it cause with saliva at least you can rest easy it’s basically water….but when you pop a zit into something, even though it’s minuscule in comparison to the amount of spit you could produce on command there is something about the solid nature of puss and compared to the more liquid state of saliva. And there is no knowing. At the drive through Mexican joint down the road from this Taco Bell I worked at they ended up on the news cause some employee was ejaculating into people burritos and yea that’s disgusting but I’ve wondered the past 10 years how that man was able to produce so much semen and how he got away with Uhm 😶 manufacturing(?) it.

Bullying service people is really one of the most disgusting things someone can do, in my opinion. It really shows someone's character, how they treat someone that they have power over.

Here in the Philippines, there was this Chinese woman who went viral and got into local news years ago due to what she did. In our country eating food at the platforms and inside a our metro trains is not allowed. The Chinese girl at the time was carrying and eating Taho(a warm Tofu like snack) while entering the platform. A guard told her it was not allowed, the Chinese girl in rage threw the Taho at the guard. To make the long story short, due to what she did she was deported and ban from entering the country.
@trumpisthemessiah7017actually most black people act polite. My son is 3 and loves to say hello to people the people who ignore him the most is white people. Most other races say hello back not the white adults or children
Good!!!
I'm guessing there is a very good reason for that rule: if food were allowed, some would accidently spill, and that would be food for rats so they'd be a bigger problem. (I have a relative in New York City. Rats are a big problem. Just look at Trump :-) )

@@cherrelleg8276 lmao you're projecting your racism again
China turned me into the worst possible version of myself when I lived there. You can't be nice. You just can't. The whole environment pushes you to disregard, and in my case, just despise everyone else. Hold a door for someone? As you said, everyone just takes advantage. You're the doorman now, and no one even thanks you. Need to get off the bus or the train because you're coming on your stop? No amount of polite asking will get anyone to move and inch. You have to start shoving people if you don't want to miss your stop. And that's just basic navigation. Never mind the constant scams people are trying to pull, or the terrible food safety.
Sounds dystopian. Add in cybernetic implants, and you have yourself a Cyberpunk dystopia. Just imagine, 1 billion people live like that. Crazy.

As an American I get so pissed seeing people mistreat others in the service industry. I don't work in it myself because I know what its like but I still respect them.
What if their service is lazy & they couldn’t careless?
@@Comeswoopfam Then there is a way to handle it in a professional manner. That still doesn't give anyone the right to be rude.
'i dont work in it myself because i know what its like' well consider yourself lucky then. That's called privilege. Most people working food service have no choice. Under capitalism you work or you die, no matter how demeaning/degrading the work is. The united states is nauseating. People wonder why so many amerikans snap and shoot up schools, it's the exact same reason chinese snap and stab school children. capitalism in every form will lead to this and worse levels of societal decay. once you're pushed around enough, you push back, much harder.
Service sector, blue collar and other physical work like emergency services and the military is probably the only type of work I have explicit respect for. Anything that's hard on the body deserves credit, bonus points if it's stressful on the mind as well, then you're an absolute machine for doing it.
Rude people everywhere, she crying because this not common, how stupid this guy is?🤭
For a communist country, China has the worst social class related issues.
These are ALL Communist countries. Believe, I lived in one since birth until our Revolution.
You could find that same class thinking in communist Germany. There, it was less about money, but about your position in the party and who you knew. It's all about power.
Which is why people say they're not really communist at all, they're more like a State-Capitalism thing going on, where the government owns the means of production and pretends they're distributing wealth.
This is true. I've met people from other communist countries who would never dream of behaving that way.
That's what communism does, every time. Duh

Excellent comment
Years ago I went with a Chinese girlfriend to Sears to help her find some furniture but no one was manning that area so I had to go find someone to help. After a bit of a wait someone finally came and I thought great, now we can get on with ordering what she wanted, but instead my girlfriend proceeded to lecture this low level employee for 15 minutes about our having to wait and the store not having the area manned. It dawned on me that if she treated this person this way, it was only a matter of time before she did the same to me.
I don't get why some people can't just think that there may be a staff shortage or that staff are busy. It's not just some Chinese people, there's that bad and entitled behavior in every country. There's a video about what the Dutch think of Americans. And some people, including some Americans, stereotype Americans as rude too. Such as some American tourists expecting the world to know English. The reverse happens too. Some migrants to English speaking countries expected people to know their language too.

@@Sunnyrstinkytoes yea it's normal in china, not in other parts of the world, so yea they are very much entitled and bad. Just because it's "culture" doesn't justify it and doesn't mean I have to respect it.
@@isopa2543 China has no customs, culture and traditions as these keep changing since Mao died.
It was a culture shock for me when I had to take a business trip to Shanghai and I saw the wealth gap and this mistreatment of people. I described it to friends as a high-tech 3rd world. Ferraris dodging bikes. 50 story buildings with entire sides covered in LCD panels running video and at the base, dirty toothless women with babies begging for money. And I am not talking about a couple. I am talking about hundreds of them and everywhere.
I was staying at a really nice hotel. I arrived late in the evening so I dumped my bags and went down to the bar. I sat at a table by myself and watched stunned as every table treated the waitress like absolute garbage. Half of the people there were from Japan so I thought maybe it was a racial thing. After a couple weeks there I realized it was a Class thing and what I had seen was local businessmen showing their clout in front of visiting businessmen from Japan. No matter where I went I saw people with money treating people 'below' them like dogs. Whether it was shopping or bars or restaurants, the more nicely someone was dressed, the more unbearable they were to anyone they were interacting with.
Treatment of others was bad as well. As was mentioned, it is almost a necessity to set aside a part of your humanity in order to function there. You have to push your way on or off subways or buses or you will never get anywhere. No holding doors for people. I held an elevator door for a woman and six more people pushed in. I had to take the next elevator and they didn't care. You have to be aggressive standing in line anywhere or people will just push in front of you.
It was really sad. I loved getting to see the old gardens and ancient temples. However, once my business there was done, there was never a place that I have been more happy to leave.
Dude the CCP has wrecked China by ripping out traditional Chinese spirituality and morality, which is actually extremely sophisticated and beautiful. I have studied Taoism and I love it, it is amazing. But the chinese communist party wants immoral greedy atheists who worship them/"the party". If you really do a deep dive, communism and cultural marxism has its roots in satanism. Satanism is a very real but occult/hidden spiritual movement and core tenet of it is "the ends jystify the means", ie: do what it takes to get what you want and also "radical selfishness". In addition, if life is meaningless, there is no karma and no god, what does it matter if you are a terrible person? You can be a total demon and there is no penalty so why not? I do not believe this and acrually god is real, karma is real and life has meaning ... but you see how this bad collective spiritual software creates such an animalistic "dog eat dog" society. To learn more see Mark Passio's detailled breakdowns of satanism teachings and mind control:
Dude it's bizarre. Asia is so materialistic these days and in China's case, straight up satanic. Meanwhile the West is - overall - becoming more spiritual in comparison and things like yoga, meditation, 'karma' and taoism have literally never been more popular. Much of this stuff originated in Asia, where it is increasingly being abandoned 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
Not surprised for a country that do not know God. The result is cruelty to fellow human and animal cruelty.
San Francisco is worse
@J Best Two things here -
First, You have completely missed the point of Winston's video and message. The message is that no matter one's perceived 'social class' or status, we should treat each other with respect and dignity. This has absolutely zero bearing on a so called 'maturity level' of an economy and/or anything to do with any type of 'wealth gap'. And nothing to do with country/nationality.
Second, You used this 'new growing economy' and needing time to close the 'gap' schtick as an excuse for the Chinese behavior depicted. And that is Lame. Not only that, you didn't stop there. You took it even a step further. Feeding-off that to roll tight into a 'whataboutism' aimed at the US.
You think you're slick and crafty, but you're not. Nice try Clown.
This explains so much. I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a (European or American) cruise, but the Chinese guests will push past queues, jump in the elevator you’ve been waiting for, take waaaay too much food at the buffet etc. It’s deeply unpleasant.
LOL sounds just like the Russians I encountered at the Dead Sea in Israel.
I often go to Cancun. The Chinese people totally fill their plates with food overflowing and take like 5 desserts and their small children go to the buffet by themselves and do the same. Then after eating maybe 25% of what they take, they get up and walk out. It all goes in the trash. They are oblivious.
@@macc240038 It's like they forgot to teach the children right from wrong. Well, religion is banned in China, so...

Yeah, Taiwan rules! I was raised in North America, but born in Taiwan. Went back to Taiwan as an adult for the first time since I was an infant a few years ago, and wow, such a great experience and the people are kind and definitely different than everything I read about people from mainland China.

Here in Ireland one of the easiest ways to get chucked out of a restaurant or pub is by being rude to serving staff.
Same here in Finland. A 6 month or 12 month ban can also be given.

The supermarket where I lived once had corn on sale at a very low price. They had to have been losing money on it. When I walked into the supermarket, I immediately saw a large crowd of Chinese people surrounding a large box of corn. They were pealing the husks off and throwing them on the floor. That was so that the corn weighed less and they saved a few pennies. It was such a disgusting site, that I just left the supermarket and went to another one.
The price for that behavior in a western country is that everyone will see you as that outcast village idiot. And it's definitely not worth the price of a few corn husks. That a group of ordinary Chinese are shamelessly trying to save a few pennies in that way is scary.
@@larsjonasson2959 They were ripping through the corn like it had gold in it...
Those fools. The husk makes the corn taste better if you grill it with the husk on. lol I guess if that's not how they plan to cook it, I can understand removing the husk before buying, but throwing it on the floor is just uncouth and should frankly get them kicked out.

Thank them very much for continuing to show your good upbringing.

I could never get along in a society like this. Where I live complete strangers wave, hold open doors, generally just acknowledging the existence of the people they come near to everyday. This shit just broke my heart. Fuckin ouch.
It's so sad. My heart pains me to see the treatment of less fortunate humans like this. You have done a fine analysis of why the rich behave the way they do in China with those that have less money. We need to think of each other more collectively as one 😢
I'm sure you can guess that during my 10 years living and working in China I came across multiple examples of this It is endemic. I also noticed that it was mostly practiced among the nouveau rich classes or by those who wished to give the impression that they had money. My students at the university were at first astounded when I explained that the two most important words in English are
" Please & Thankyou" as they are hardly used in Chinese and are especially missing when talking to someone considered inferior in status to one's self.
Many in Australia are pigs also. Some are nice also.
It's funny that you say that as please and thank you are two of the first words I taught my child. I've never thought about a society that wouldn't use good manners and social respect as a goal.
@@gladiammgtow4092 I've had great experiences living in Australia. The people I've worked with and become friends with are good, kind, fun people.

I was skeptical of the op’s comment but it’s true.
I really felt bad for that traffic police girl. How can someone treat service people ,who help us , like this.
I worked on a constrction site for a luxury resort off the coast of Australia. The catering was provided as we couldn't leave the island, dozens of Chinese workers were on the project doing the dry-lining. They were ultimately forced to have to eat last because any time they would be allowed to go to the buffet before other workers they would pile their plates so high with food & then never even eat half of it & waste it for everyone else. They would spit indoors and throw litter where ever they fancied; on the floor or straight into the ocean. Once a sea turtle swam into the bay and whilst everyone else was looking on in amazement, the first thing the Chinese workers did was hurl large rocks at it to try and kill it. I honestly don't know how a vast proportion of such a huge race can be such disgraceful human beings.
Bcuz China is not a homogeneous society and the only way to get all the different ethnic ppl to work and fight for the same country is by violent force which is basically like soviet russia and current russia tbh. It's disgusting and it's unbelievable that it's still a reality in 21st century. These two nations need to be demolished so russia is consist of truly russian ppl and china is consist of truly chinese ppl not other population that are taken prisoners by them!
Culture.... Not race. There are plenty of Chinese whom are not this way and it's because they were raised in a different culture. I'm only pointing this out because I think it's an important distinction.
@@Kevin-ur9us huh ? culture is RACE its the same thing, UK Australia Canada USA New zealand have the same race and almost exactly the same culture they all came from the Uk.

We spent 3 months in Wuxi building a manufacturing facility. We stayed in the International Hotel which was very nice. We witnessed a HUGE range of difference in how people treated the staff based on their nationalities. We were always kind, patient, talked to the staff, joked with them and eventually we had a core group that would attend to us solely. When we left, we had the entire wait staff gather around us, shake our hands, take pictures, and wish us well and it wasn't because we did anything different, I believe it was because we treated them well and respected them. I was proud to leave a good impact as an American.
omg civilized people, FINALLY!
Glad they felt respected and appreciated that day because of you!
In fact, many dark sides are not shown in the official media. They are indeed better for foreign enterprises, because China’s labor is cheap, and they do not strike. Working overtime without extra pay is normal. Foreigners are comfortable in China for this reason, but if it is Chinese people working, the position is reversed.
most american abroad are really respectful and nice as i self experienced
👍
My husband saw this behavior first-hand when he was a supervisor in a mfg plant. About 6 people on his crew were from China. The rest were from other countries. He realized early on that there seemed to be some kind of social pecking order in that group of Chinese men. If one of them had a "better" lunch than the self-appointed top man, he'd make them trade lunches. At a Christmas party where there was a spin the wheel for prizes game, everyone got a spin, and if liked their prize better, demanded that they give it to him. I learned from my aunt, who married a Chinese man, that this is how their culture is structured. Now, her husband wasn't like that having grown up in the USA, but several of his family members from China did still practice this social pecking order. Apparently, they did not have much status, so felt compelled to give in when demands were made of them. My aunt was fiercely independent and didn't tolerate it when approached. They took a lot of heat from that community because they "didn't know their place". My husband and I have known many immigrants from many countries, and a lot of them....even if this sort of culture existed in their previous country...once in the USA, everyone was on an even playing field socially.
Actually, this is pretty common behavior worldwide. Very few countries behave differently. South America, Africa, Asia, etc… oddly, this very same behavior is typical primate behavior. Chimps and other apes behave in a similar fashion. Not saying that these humans are chimps. But for the most part, a base level of respect in not a common cultural practice in nature or worldwide.
@@shaunpearce6846 In modern western culture it's not called a pecking order, but rather bullying, and everyone usually wants to see the bully eventually put in their place. Being the best in some way shouldn't mean hurting those around you to stay on top. It should be about merit and reciprocity, and then those lesser than you will treat you as a leader because they know you have their back, too. That way the rising tide lifts all the ships. You don't have to sink your neighbors to catch the wave.
As to in nature, I think you have a very over simplified understanding of animal hierarchies. Social animals are usually more collaborative than that, or else the ones they bullied eventually conspire against them.
Straight up gangster mentality, bully the weak but behave like a dog in front of the strong.

I had a date with a heart doctor over a decade ago. Went to the dinner by my work. He treated the waitress like shit. I ignored him after then.
Man your videos have really opened my eyes about China - thank you so much!
What I learned when I lived in China was that the 'punching down' starts at the top.
Where I grew up (near Beijing), it was the "cool" thing to do to be rude to servers. I remember going to restaurants and my grandparents pointing at servers "if you don't study you'll end up as one of them!" Not so proud to say, I was a "cool kid" by that definition. I was the rudest to servers for everyone who knows me, and servers didn't dare to do anything to irritate me. At that time, it gave me a taste of what a CCP official was like, and I fucking loved the feeling of privilege. Also, by being rude to servers, I felt as if I were better than them, and it eased my deepest fear that one day I would become one of them.
It's been 9 years since I left China. Took me at least 5 years living in the US to unlearn many bad habits that I picked up in mainland. The irony is that while living in China, I myself was a victim of abuse, and my experience of being abused fueled my desire to be an abuser.
thank you for sharing !
Yeah, pretty common that abusers were abused themselves.
The most important thing is to give people a chance to grow and better themselves.
Our upbringing may shape us but don't let it define you. It takes a real man to not only admit ones mistakes but also to improve upon oneself with the lessons learned.
no wonder taiwan is so abused by china
at least u can learn and change, i see many mainlanders in my city who behave horribly still
During the Chinese New Year, it's the absolute worst.
These wannabe rich mainland "tourists" show up and just act like they own the place. I remember years ago witnessing a crowd of them trying to force their way into a public bus, and when the bus driver (sensible guy, that one) told them 'no', the loudest ones tried to bribe him with money. They would even stand _in front of the bus, on the road_ just to keep the bus from leaving.
Absolute insanity and a lack of awareness.
No different than the entitled generation growing up in the US.
@@Isnogood12 Those may be bad. The chinese are giving them a run for their money though.
@@peterpain6625 Competition with no winners. :(
(I did get a chuckle out of your handle though!)
Chinese American here, last time I visited China, people look at me weird when I say “hi” and “thank you” to the waiting staff.
I feel and see this creeping into western culture here in Australia. Much like the knock on effect you mentioned of having good deeds unrewarded. Its frightening.
Thing is, it's not too late for us to correct them every time it happens. I do. They don't like it. They get rude. I do too, with what little Mandarin I remember but I'm also happy to get physical.
I have zero tolerance for that kind of supremacist attitude in my home.
@@larzblast I'm talking about ppl in general, not just rude chinese, but yes, rudeness is not ok
Stop Chinese from entering your country.
Creeping in because of the creeping proportion of Chinese in Australia
@@carolflower8015 Maybe, but I don't believe a small minority could have such a large effect on a majority who have their own culture and beliefs. I see communism creeping into Australia just like Canada and this has left ppl jaded.
my stepfather was a minor english nobleman.
he taught me many old school things , such as "respect those that serve you", "you cannot give orders until you know how to follow them", and my bench mark : "if you cannot perform a task, you have no right to direct others in such a task".
respect was all important. he took the classical view that we of the ruling class were protectors and 'fathers' of the lower orders.
he also taught me that middle class people were worthless by example, the nouveaux riches were invariably the worst behaved towards the working class, he found this reprehensible.
Your stepfather is/was a gentleman. A different breed that is disappearing these days. Just my grandfather. People like this understand what it is to be noble at heart.
The english nobles back in the days were apparently different tho, i mean how does that approach fit with the highland clearances and the land grabs of commumal lands in england and wales? English Gentry was also responsible for starting the farming with slaves in the southern US stuff right? Nobles everywhere called themselves bluebloods because they thought of them selves as better and a different breed than the commoners. But it is nice your stepfather seemingly tried to be better.
@@holgerlinke98 Most nobles were gentlemen and the US slave trade was mostly (99%)Africans selling other Africans into slavery, then 90% of the time shipped by Jewish traders to be sold in the US where a disproportionate number of those buying slaves were black themselves. Plus slavery in the US system only started when an indentured black tried to escape and the man who held his indentureship petitioned the courts to punish the man by making him his slave. That man was himself a black from Angola. Wrong on all counts by the whites, jews and blacks involved in the barbaric trade.
That's a respectful way of thinking. Too respectful. It limits what we might otherwise be able to help in for the sake of respecting another.
Yes my uncle always said, assess people by how they treat those in a weaker position than themselves. That is their true character.
Heh. I was in the Philippines at a resort during Chinese new year and it was terrible. This explains a lot. The Chinese there were very rude and I almost got into a fight with someone shining lasers at peoples eyes on the beach. I’ll be planning my vacations at different times now. This is definitely eye opening and explains a lot.
The Filipinos where rude or the Chinese?
@Melissa Lim filipinos have good manners so expect that it's the Chinese
Please continue to smear China. Too many people pretend to be Chinese
Where did you go Philippines or china? Most of filipinos are very hospitable and well mannered.
Maybe for some people, all Asians are Chinese, it doesn't matter if you are Chinese or not? In my rose colored glasses I think you are.
I am glad that you pointed out this disparity. I thought it was a one off thing.
I don’t understand how being rude is seen as impressive or “about face.” I’d be mortified if someone I was hanging around did this. Their face would never be near me again.
Worked at a gas station in Oregon for 3.5 years. We have our own fair share of rude behavior. Difference was I could always refuse service without worrying about losing my job. Did it a number of times. People having some kind of brain drain or loss of humility when they come to a gas station around here.
Lots of really nice folk too but aggravations were much too common. You really felt like you were on a lower rung on the social ladder.
Appreciate you always put huge effort into creating quality content full with facts and interesting stories. Thank you!
It's the same way here.in.the Philippines. Around Christmas, a girl visited me in a very rural and remote province, and she came from an area north of Manila. There she works in a factory and.makes about $10 a day. Here in northern Bicol, people only make $5-$6 a day. Combine that with the fact that she was with a Westerner and I think it had the same effect on her psyche.
I took her to a videoke bar and restaurant at a beach resort where they know me and so we would get nice, familiar service. I noticed she would call the staff "boy!" when she needed something or "girl!" at another place we went. I felt she was being very rude saying things like "Boy, we need more beers!" in a very commanding tone. This was not the girl I'd known. I asked her to refer to the male waiter as "Kuya" (brother) and the females as "Até" (sister) as this was the respectful way you address a stranger in pubic..she actually asked me "why?!'
I'm divorced. I don't play games. I don't act passive aggressively. So I told her, "Because you're being fucking rude and demeaning to them."
Her reponse to your request?
@@Redotwo42 she complied begrudgingly. I broke things off with her a few days later.
@@RobinsVoyage Ironically, the French call waiters, "Garçon" - literally "boy". But it's not considered derogatory in their language.
@@saiberunato In Mexico, the term is "joven" - meaning 'young man'.
That's what we call "lumaki ang ulo".
When a country eliminated any kind of spirituality and focuses primarily on materialism, this is what happens. As a Chinese American, I am truly disgusted by these behaviors. I had no idea how horrible this is! My parents lived in Southern China for 10 years up until 2012, they had such positive experiences. Things have gotten way worse! What a disappointment.
There is no basis for reason and morality in the religion of secular humanism. People in China are molded to suit the government's lust for maintaining power. Period.
The CCP is destroying China's rich culture and taking away everything that was once great about it.
Just like in America!
And a generation of only one child families
Totally understand You Winston. Completely agree for every word You said🎯🎯🎯 Pozdrav from Serbia
Disrespecting a service worker is such an inhumane thing you can do to another human..
Subbed, I’ve been looking for a level headed person to help me understand china better.
laowhy86 is great as well, has very nice way of explaining things, broad view, wise comments
This guy's really interesting to listen to. I've been binge watching his stuff for the last 3 hours. 😂 Greetings vannie PE bozza.
When I first got here, I was told that it was bad to be kind. On top of that, I also get yelled at for doing a good deed because I'm told the person I'm doing a good deed for will take me to court and sue me.
i'm from england and i'm physically disabled. i was shopping in home bargains and a chinese woman helped me put my shopping in my bag. i suspect though, since she's shopping in home bargains, she wasn't rich. god bless that woman and other people from wherever who have shown me kindness.
I can’t imagine treating anyone that way. My husband and I treat everyone respectful especially service people. I work with the public as well and it always surprises me how rude some people can be.
When i finished my apprenticeship as a chef in a 4,5* hotel with a kitchen that was cooking under 18 Gault Millau points my supervisor said this to me: "If someday you want to open your own restaurant, but you don't know who you can really trust with your own business and savings, watch them walk by the cleaning staff when their shift begins. If they greet the cleaning staff like any other guest or employee, they're a keeper. If they don't greet them, fire them asap."
This is truly disgusting.. This is a common issue in many countries, even in western ones, but this is why I will always say thanks to the people that do the things that I wouldnt want to do, even if it's their Job like many people argue.
To see the smiles and appreciation you get for this little effort really shows how rare it still seems to be for people to show some gratitude and respect for people working in hard, disgusting or any other unattractive job.
I saw a chinese guy doing this in a restaurant in Vietnam. The staff kicked him out on his arse after teaching him not to be a prick.
Tears of a fellow malaysian😅
I love how you acknowledge that there are indeed still many good people in China. But the society is litterally poisoned to a point good people are afraid to do good things sometimes because you will get punished for being good......
@Rodney 1984 what do you mean by old? Do you mean just the last 70 years where CCP was in charge? Or do you mean always. I’d argue people back in waring states times China had better moral standards as a society.
Sounds like what the west is becoming. How many videos you see where someone is getting beat down and all anyone can do is film it?
@@mchonkler7225 People still has higher moral standards in the west on average. When my car gets stuck in the snow, you bet within the next 3 cars that pass me someone will stop to help(I live in Canada). Where in China, little kids who try to help a elderly who fell could end up getting blamed for the fall, and the kid's family end up have to pay the elderly person's medical expenses. Imagine if this happened to you at 5, how are you ever going to try to help others again knowing yo will get blamed for it?its so fucked.
@@tylerdai88 True but you can't deny we are heading the same direction China has already gone.
Power, is not the ability to boss people around and treat them horribly. Power, is having the ability to act in that way without repercussions and choosing instead to act magnanimously, with respect and empathy. Not caring about saving face, and instead exhibiting character, through Noble Action. But of course, power, in the hands of those who lack integrity, corrupts further.
Thank u for the enlightenment man..,..

I was at a Wawa really late, like 2am, with my friends after coming back from night swimming at the gym pool. But a fraternity party apparently let out at about 1, and i swear to God there were like 100 people in that Wawa. The poor woman making sandwiches was visibly crying, all the while, those drunk douchebags were harassing her and the others to make the food faster. My friends and I slid her 2 $10 bills under the counter. It's not much but we hoped it helped
I do feel some of these behaviors come over here into Australia in Sydney alot of the people amd drivers feel lik what you is saying 100%
I hate rude people. I don't know why people can't just be nice to each other. It's not hard.
I have a friend, this Chinese girl is a college student who works in a supermarket in her spare time (in Sydney) and once a white female customer of hers came up to her and said "Why don't you go back to your country? You Asians are here to steal Our job! Is this rude enough?
The building trade in UK is similar. Labourers are considered disposable but all trades are treated badly on building sites.
This is why UK’s infrastructure is going to shit
This really makes me realize just how awesome Nancy Yuen is! She was born and married into wealthy Chinese business and family. Yet she spent 20 years in prisons and labor camps for her faith. And when they tried to break her by giving her the worst jobs, she would retaliate in the best way possible. For example, they made her empty all the prisoners' toilet buckets, but not only would she empty them, but also clean them and sing and smile while doing it. A friend of mine had the pleasure of knowing her in person. Wish I could learn more about her experiences.
Yes, she was an amazing sister. They never broke her. No doubt, it was a strength greater than her own that carried her through. Thanks for sharing!
That poor woman at the pump. I wanted to give her a hug 😪
I saw an interview once where Paul McCartney's son James described working as a waiter once and he didn't tell people his last name because he just didn't want people to relate to him on a superficial level. His sister Stella the designer says her dad made them take the bus to school and when she complained about going to public school instead of a rich private school McCartney said you'll understand later. Paul and Linda never even hired baby sitters and took them on the road with them. Look up the dumpy looking farmhouse they used to live in. They even tended the animals themselves. Money doesn't bring people happiness. It's about enjoying the simple things with real people.
I almost hugged my phone for that woman in the beginning. The Rich in a nutshell.
This is so sad.
Much love and most importantly respect to this woman.
You are worthy of much more respect than is given to you.
It's so freaking ridiculous. I don't really why they treat the staffs/workdrs like that 😢😢 I hope that they soon will be in the same situation. So cruel.
thanks. This video helped explain to me more why my Yogi teacher who is half chinese once said about how people in China are of a low vibration.
Smile. Say please and thank you. This was drilled into me. No matter where I go and what I do, this always works for me. Bonus points: address the person by their name.
your right, it doesn't cost anything to be nice.😁
I've seen Chinese people do this frequently to service workers in Sydney
You're 100% correct. Other factors also come into play if the poor person happens to be a foreigner: Japanese and British foreigners tend to be treated even worse because China "triumphed" over those countries so any of their citizens are just considered as servants or worse.
Big red flag when someones treats the staff badly
I've absolutely binged watched so many of your videos this evening, you are extremely educated and very well spoken, thank you for making these videos, this one really explains a lot, especially when it comes to manners..... You could have not said that any better, we are all equal, it's just a job
Broke my heart when I saw this video the other day. The CCP has really ruined people in China, I hope they can come back from this. I'm not sure.
have you seen the baby run over twice and about a dozen people walking past with no care in the world.
They were on the right track with Qi Gong, but evil snuffed that out quickly
True but remember the Chinese people did not fare well under Imperialism either. Freedom is a hard thing to grasp & embrace for any elite or government.
@@tayfan2wtf does imperialism have anything to do with??
Super and eye opening presentation as always. What a tragedy for all those poor people at the bottom of the pile.
When no one has integrity society crumbles
This clip is really heartbreaking! Treat others as you would like to be treated! It's just common sense. What you put out comes back to you! How do you live with yourself after you treat someone like this??? This is a human being!!! Thank you for this video, I understand now why some Chinese people are rude!
I’m so thankful that we have you guys that are able to tell us about how “ unusual” the Chinese are ( and why). Interesting !
I didn't know it was this bad in China... thanks for the eyeopener
I'm happy for you having a wife brother.
Congratz for that and God bless you and your family!
Winston, you are a legend, Im recommending your content wherever I can in my country. More people need to watch and appreciate your work, you are a great compasionate person and Im glad that you are still posting on China issues and more in house topics. Cheers.
this happens everywhere, not just china but a way to stop this is to track down this behavior.
I can't say it's to this degree. Sure there are bad apples everywhere. But this is more common. That's been coming from people who would know because they have lived there. Also it's well known about Chinese mainland rude behavior. VERY WELL Known.
I agree with you bro. A measure of a person humanity is how they behave.
The lack of education among the "elites" always has been something I couldn't stand. These people are so entitled. They need a reality check from time to time and I'm always happy to provide... You don't even have to say a word. When I see one of them bullying a employee, I just look at them with contempt, they immediately understand and leave the tail between their legs.
Great seeing Sasha again. Long time since I’ve seen her. Hoping you and your family are well.
Chinese Tourists? I got married in Gretna Green in the Old Blacksmith Shop museum which closes temporarily for these weddings. On going in, I noticed the area outside the exit door had been roped off. When we came out to get our photos taken by our hired Photographer, there were about 30 Chinese tourists standing at the barrier rope. Not a smile out of them, certainly no Chinese tour guide asked us if they could photograph our private moment. They just coldly photographed us as if our wedding had been laid on for their 'Gretna Green Experience'.
I live in Switzerland and work-wise I have to go to a lot of hotels and restaurants (if it was me, I would rather cook my meals myself and eat at home by myself but here we are) and I notice EVERY TIME that the wait staff just gots blatantly ignored, the waiter brings the menu, the drinks etc NOBODY even looks at the person let alone say something else but the order.
I notice that because I make eye contact, say hello, say thank you EVERY TIME an interaction takes place and I say my farewell, when I leave.
Now, privately I don't go out anymore but when I did, years ago but doesn't matter, I have a few friends that are waitresses themselves or former waiters: They didn't interact with the staff either.
Not even after I did.
I have no clue why that is. They are (mostly) not unfriendly or complain (a lot) but ignoring is a form of unkindness in my opinion.
There's a lot of body cam footage around on UA-cam nowadays and you can witness interactions, altercations, arrests and all that directly from the perspective of the police officer and the entitlement of people is just deplorable.
I guess entitlement is a good word to describe the megalomaniac's slash narcissist's behavior in public, with other people.
Maybe it's because there are just TOO MUCH people, billions and billions of them everywhere roaming every inch of the planet.
And the attitude is: Now it's my turn, I deserve such and such and really anything I want, I am like nobility and genius, too, also I am perfectly fine the way I am and if anybody's got a problem, it's their problem because I won't change a single thing.
I don't like people at all but I can't see them cry or hurt because it hurts me literally physically and brings me to tears. How people are so indifferent and cruel, really, I believe, it's because there are just too many.
What do you think?
Is it just the availability and use of cameras recording the demeanor that's what has changed or is it really the people that changed?
You did a really great job again, thanks a lot for sharing！👍😄👏
By the way, please remember to support your bro Nathan (This is Taiwan)!
I watched this video a months a go and was furious how some chinese people do this disgusting behavior.
But then this December 2023, I can't believe this happens to my GF, she works as a cashier at a Convenient store and a bakeshop owned by 1 family that i found out to have a chinese blood, and their children went to school in China and graduated in college in our country Philippines. The disgusting behavior of the family is astonishing, The mother who gives the payroll to the employees would actually throw the money into the the wet floor from the window of her office in the second floor. The employees have to catch the money or pick it up on the floor, they even got it in video since it's really common practice of the mother. They are forced to work illegaly 12hours a day, 6-7days a week even if they are sick as long as they're alive, my GF 2 days ago suddenly got hypokalemia and got her 1 leg paralyzed but she was still forced to work by the mother and daughter, they even scolded and blamed my GF for being sick when the real reason is they forced her to work night shift job from 9pm-9am almost 3 weeks with no dayoff and no additional health benefits. This day while I'm typing is the same time my GF quit her job and not saying it to her bosses.
Actually majority of their employees including my GF are slowly quiting their job this December because of the disgusting behavior of that chinese family, it's their way of teaching a lesson to their bosses by having only a few employees left(no more than 4 employees) to manage their 3 businesses by the end of the year.
I visited Russia in the early 90s. Every time you did something that would be normal in Britain, like open a door for an elderly person, they would look at you and say "You can't be Russian".
Russian might look European, but their history in big part is being a Mongol colony. Culturally they are Asian.
@@CDA138ek 1. there is no such thing as "culturally asian" as there are many different cultures in Asia which are more different to each other than any two European countries (or even Europe and US) are culturally.
2. Russia shares A LOT of culture with Europe.
What you say does have some truth to it, but you are completely exaggerating.
@@silkwesir1444 I thought that in my post I made clear which Asian culture was imposed on Russians. They were ruled for centuries not by Khmer or Korean but by Mongols.
@@CDA138ek no, they are spiritually black-americans
@@silkwesir1444 He meant to say culturally more Eastern( in reality European too ), which is not all bad of course but their culture hasn't progressed much due to continually having one regime in power for many years, just look at how their regime is acting now, it's a reflection of the mentality, also being the dominant country in their region for a long time has given them a superiority complex.
Just finished the video. Another powerful video - great footage to illustrate your points, and articulately presented. One of my great regrets about our overlapping time here is that we never met. We're peers and all, but I can't overstate how much respect I have for you. Keep doing you and making the world a better place.
I was eating in restaurant in Madrid next table was Chinese tourists waiter couldn’t pass through them because one of them was taking too much space. He didn’t even think to move his chair a little a bit or say sorry for being in his way. They acted like waiter doesn’t exist. I was pretty upset about it
This was actually a very insightful video! Korea is kind of the same way with niceties and manners. The reason they give me is due to how densely packed their centers of population are. I think, aside from the belittling of people, most densely populated urban centers are full of rude and uncaring people.
I visited korea before and a lot of the koreans in Seoul were rude as well like cutting in line and such. I didnt know if it was a korean mannerism or a seoul mannerism. I asked a korean american why koreans were rude and he got rude about it
I was once in Shanghai for 3 days after being in Japan for 6 days. Normally I enjoy travelling a lot, but I the first day. came to China, I wanted to get out. Missed home like crazy.
Would love to visit the countryside some day!
That makes sense. In Australia Im told to go to theme parks when the chinese travellers arent there. I worked with an arrogant chinese nurse. Another was a Social Worker who was humble and lovely who said the Chinese country is a great place to live. She must have been in the upper class but as a social worker she would be considered a service person.
Holy shit. This has to be shown to the world.
