You have to question the intelligence of someone that would confuse a $1 dollar bill with a $100 bill.
And the color of the mighty "GREEN BACK" will never change.
Nope I have never had an issue giving the cashier the wrong bills. But those dang brand new bills sure do like to stick together.
I mean it is kind of weird when we think about how similar all our money looks. The UK and Canada have really smart systems where different bills are different *sizes* so even if someone is blind they can tell which bill they need.
@@CLKagmi23i don't like the different size money, the different color money is pretty but i found it useless otherwise. I still looked at it to see what denomination it was.
Most people rather carry bills than coins.
People in America come from all different cultures so our food aisles have a variety of products to suit everyone's taste.
They can't steal your card information because that's a quick trip to prison n they will never be able to get a good job . no one will trust them
And normally there is a camera watching the area.
All the money being green is not a problem 😂
I genuinely think this guy is actually just dumb 😂😂😂😂 they’re plainly labeled with big numbers. He can easily tell.
I wish people accidentally gave me 100 dollar bills because of this. 😅
It's how it is i guess but american cash is very archaic
He doesn't need to come back or stay.
He's a little harsh on us considering he comes from a country that is not safe and nothing works right.
We have international news and the BBC
That's funny about the green money. We always say money from other countries looks like Monopoly money (the board game) because it's colored. :) Take care guys!
Um excuse me, it's "money of color"
This poor guy. He expected to visit America and it would be exactly like Africa. Sorry you are so disappointed. You should probably leave now before you get more confused about a dollar.
I don't agree about Americans talking loudly because of competitors. If we are in a Library we whisper, if we are outside we just talk. We don't worry if it annoys anyone. It really depends where we are. If you are at a restaurant we just talk. We are taught there are two volumes when we are young. Inside Voice and Outside Voice.
America has a one dollar coin… and a 50 cent coin
And the coin names are fairly logical. Quarter is a quarter of a dollar in value. Nickels are named for the material they were made from originally. A penny, a one-cent coin, comes from the French word cent, meaning 100 (how many you need to equal a dollar). Dime is derived from the Latin word decimus, meaning 10; it's a 10-cent value and you need to have 10 to equal a dollar in value.
I saw a $1 coin once.
Yes, we do, but shocker, bills are preferred.
A $100 bill says $100 on it. Just look at it before buying. I can't believe he's bitching about our currency 🙄.
Lets start a fund for his return ticket.
Back to S. Africa?😂
Ban that doofus.
We bette4 handle the money as he may confuse 1 dollar with 100. South Africans must not learn numbers and basic math.
this guy is totally talking about another country or something! We totally have international news stations, and if you can't tell your numbers, then you shouldnt be here, 1, 10, 20, 100, hello????!!!! Can't help it if u dont like our measurement system, then don't come here, its easy!
Imagine if this video was an American complaining about their country...this guy is so small minded. I mean who decides to travel and then complain "This is ridiculous, why isn't this place just like where I come from?"...crazy. Yes they do take your card away in places, but the laws are very strict on theft, as well as employment of thieves. If you wish to never be employed anywhere again for life, then go ahead and steal, but you better be very good at it, because you will get caught, fired, and good luck surviving after that. The US keeps a work history of everyone, and that determines how easy or hard it may be to get employment in the future. Here your reputation is paramount for success.
The United States isn't South Africa. Would he like us to give him the directions to go back home?
The dude is a bit of a douche, but still a good video brothers.
This is America. Like it or leave it
The beauty of America is you can say how you feel. You seem to forget what freedom means
We love our flag because the people earned that flag when we rebelled against the British.
Lol this guy’s anger at the most irrelevant shit shows his anger is misguided, he needs some deep reflection. If I didn’t have proof he came here, I’d think he’d never been. I’ve never seen…flags on shoes, you have to build a good credit score to get a credit card and since he’s not a citizen he wouldn’t have been eligible. Airlines are businesses, it’s up to an individual to determine whether they fly enough to get one. And complaining about quarters instead of having 20 cent pieces and having dollar bills…even though we also have dollar coins…and the fact that our money is green?? He clearly hasn’t seen a modern $100 bill cause it looks nothing like a $1 bill. It’s like he’s angry because the country developed differently. So much hate man, take that negative energy somewhere else
There's a pretty big Muslim community in Dearborn Michigan, there's alot of videos on here about it as well if you wanna check it out.
He is nuts, you can definitely know a one-dollar bill from a hundred-dollar bill
This South African is very judgmental. Every country has different laws and customs. It's silly to criticize differences and laugh at them. Just observe them, especially if you generalize as much as this man.
Wow I hope he's being funny cause if you can't read the face of the money you must be blind. We are different from everyone else. We love our country very much so we fly our flag. I wish Europeans stop coming over and complaining about how things are ran . As for choices he's crazy it doesn't take two hours to make a decision on one thing. He makes Americans look smart.
Coins are heavy
Big portions are great, just ask for a to-go box (or doggie bag) and take what is left with you.
Lunch for tomorrow!
Seems more of a Bashing than a Shocking video. (I mean the guy in the video, not Habibi Bros.)
They tried to put the metric system in place here but nobody would take it
Many chain restaurants have a machine right on the table.
If he doesn’t like it here, go home! 😂
When the guy starts his video pointing out border control officers weren't smiling or being overtly welcoming... I can't imagine this guy has been to many countries before. Every country I've been to has serious border guards, because it's their job to be. I'm amazed at how little this dude seemed to learn or figure out while being in the US, he sounds like a poorly written Buzzfeed top 10 list from the early 2010's.
I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been paying off credit card debt since I was 18 years old. It’s never ending.
One thing people should know is we welcome people and for the most part most of us are friendly but we really don’t care if you don’t like us .. we just carry on lol
Everyone loves to hate on 🇺🇸😂. Our money is all green, but the denominations are in huge print so it’s kinda hard to get them mixed up. I think the colorful money looks fake. If you look like you’re under 40, you will be asked for ID. All individuals need ID so adults don’t buy alcohol for people under the drinking age (21). We will never change to the metric system. The imperial system works for us. So when in Rome do as the Romans do. We talk loud because we like expressing ourselves and having a good time. The talking over others depends on the person.
Yeah, if you don't notice the different pictures on the two bills, you can go that extra mile and look at the number. All that extra work, but we're a tough group of folk.
Actually, one sude is green, the other side isn't
This man goes to a few of the biggest, most expensive cities attempting to get the "American experience?" Nope, can't be done. Please learn this: check out the marvelous wonders and really great people in-between the cities. We're all different in so many ways but most of us love our crazy country-difficulties and all. We treasure hospitality for everyone. We smile first, help open doors and willingly help visitors figure things out. We've been known to do "pay-it -forward" for many things, especially food. This means I pay for the food for the people behind me-just because it's a kind thing to do. Not once have even my old grandma or youngest child confused their dollar's value either!😂 From rural Indiana.😊
We will never change to metric, we shall stay with freedom units
We do have some international news channels, depends on your provider/service. I can get BBC International and El Jazeera. They won't have advertisements of originating locals. Also, can access on the internet.
My husband was in a head-on collision by a woman who was under the influence of alcohol. She admitted the alcohol use to the EMS. We had every right to sue, but we didn’t because my husband was alive and that’s all we cared about.
did you press charges? i mean i dont know if you even need to press charges for them to get arrested for dui I guess thats a separate thing? never been arrested so yeah idk
Cash is king in America!!! Can’t hack my cash!!!!
He's nuts again a penny is 1 cent nickel is 5 cents a dime is 10 cents and a quarter is 25 cents, 100 pennies make a dollar, 20 nickles make a dollar, 10 dimes make a dollar and 4 quarters make a dollar.
One thing I don’t like is people from other countries like this guy is from always complaining about the us but when the go to other countries they love everything no complaints but when they come to the us they are hell bent on telling us what they don’t like about our country don’t come here if it’s so bad
They can't get your information from your card, and you are given a receipt so you know exactly how much you paid. This is a very strict system.
Wow! This guy is weird! He's actually judging a different country with a different culture/cultures negatively because it does things Differently than his? What do you expect? Your'e in a Different country. Why do we have to do everything the same as you. What's the point in traveling to different countries if they're all the same?
Its always a laugh for Americans to listen to small countries tell our large country that it needs to change. Do they travel to the other large countries like Russia and China and tell them to change everything about their country? They need to learn that a country as large as ours will never cause the chaos and expense of change to please country's that are the size of just 1 of our 50 states. It would make no sense to emulate these tiny country's. But it always fun to watch them complain.
FYI US has many international news channels just to name a few Al Jazeera News, Shy News Australia, there’s news channels from all over Europe etc.
The biggest misconception is all you see is American flags. You’ll see variations in demographic that live in the area. My neighbors fly Mexican and Irish flags. Totally legal and encouraged.
And no one is in the grocery store that long. I think he may just be a little slow or overwhelmed. The options are there based on need. People go and grab what they want/need and move on. He’s just dumb
Watching this white colonizer talk about Africa and its state like he isn’t directly descended from those who ruined that country is CRINGE.
A lot of Americans watch the BBC or read the Associated Press for international news! It's unfortunate because our news channels on TV now are very profit-driven, so they often only cover things that they think viewers will get either really scared or angry or happy about because those things keep people watching. We used to have laws about what news channels needed to cover, but Reagan repealed that law called the Fairness Act in the 1980s.
After you get the bill from the server, you can chose to take it up to the register yourself
Re: the credit card, this actually does bug me even though it's common place. So, I have a separate card for internet shopping and restaurants. That way it's easier for me to catch if anything has been stolen. Re: green money, it's not so much of a problem, just look at it lol. I don't know anyone who has ever mistaken a $1 bill for a $100 bill lol.
It's pretty easy to catch. Imagine if they took just two numbers from the same restaurant, and then both reported. It would be noticed easy. I will say the credit card companies say 50% of the fees are used to fight fraud.
As an American we will never switch to metric, fractions got us too the moon, metric has never
Bless his heart. Lol
I think its hilarious that people stress over the restroom gaps like they do. I've never honestly given it a thought
It's funny that he tried to talk America into changing the rules and regulations so as not to confuse him. He must understand the difference and adjust it. If he still goes to America😆
I'm trying hard to not be offended by this guy. 😳 gosh, I think he's having a bad day! I enjoy your videos Brothers✌
With waiters taking your card away to scan it, stealing your credit card information is a felony and is really easy to get caught for. Plus the customer usually isn’t liable for fraudulent charges. I have never had to pay for a fraudulent charge.
He's right about the idiot request for his ID and then it wasn't good enough. Stupid shit like that happens in a lot of places.
First of all, America, being the greatest country in the world why should we take advice from any other country? There's nothing wrong with being unique or first, and if you need your money color coded like "Monopoly Money" to tell the difference between a one and a $100 bill...Maybe you're not as smart as you think you are.
He was bitching about everything. But he can't wait to come back. 😂😂😂
I’ve never been to Chicago, but it’s pretty bizarre that at a supermarket they wouldn’t sell his friend beer because of him when he wasn’t paying, and clearly isn’t underage. That isn’t a normal American thing.
This guy is the male equivalent of Dianne Jennings, and Feli from Germany. That is not a compliment..
Ha, my mom thought she was giving a $5 bill to a homeless person one time and the person was ecstatic and my mom was like well ok cool glad to help. She did not realize until she got home that it was a $50 bill!
International news is available online. I watch news from all over the world. It’s true that television news is fairly limited. But most people get their news online these days.
Debt is not necessarily bad. Uncontrolled debt is bad. Taking on debt with high interest is bad. I have credit cards and I have never paid interest because I pay it off every month. It builds confidence in your ability/willingness to pay off a debt which raises your credit score. Why save for 20 year to buy a home while you pay rent when you can just get the home with a good interest rate and move in.
In economics debt is not automatically a bad thing.
Gas is short version of gasoline.
Other countries don't use the term gas. They use petro = petroleum.
The best way to think about the American states and their different laws is to compare it to the European Union. The EU is union of many different countries comprising a huge land area. Each country has its own laws yet share some common laws with all countries. The USA is a union of many different states comprising a huge land area. Each state has its own laws yet shares some common laws with all states.
I hope this helps with beginning to understand our legal system.
It may also explain why the USA is a country of diversity. What is normal in one city may not be normal in the next. In the USA this is normal for us. Conformity across this nation is to exception not the norm. We're just too big a country.
The credit card thing is not big deal -- they take it to the machine in the back and ring it up. Nobody cares. Of course, if something malicious is done, there's a paper trail and everything can be resolved. If the server tries something illegal, they could be fired and prosecuted. Also, this constant ranting from visitors about the U.S. sales tax is out of control -- how many more videos like this do we have to endure. Sales tax is often different in every state, every county, every city -- so it would be impossible to tag everything with the total price including tax. America is the size of Europe. And we Americans know how to roughly estimate the total cost of everything including tax, and if we're not sure, just look at the itemized receipt.
The USA's paper money is all green and all the same size. However, it does have its denomination (amount) posted on all 4 corners of the bill, front side and back side. Our coins are differentiated by their size, the smallest coin being the least valuable.
The bills also have different images on the front and back according to denomination. We Americans often sort our money by denomination to make life easier. It is just about impossible for a seeing person to confuse our currency, just look at it!
America is not dummies; the ability to read and do simple math are required.
He didn’t try hard enough to find international news. We have access to BBC, CNN, Le Monde, etc most nightly US networks carry international news
I will agree with one thing he said Bud Light is like making love in a canoe. It’s fucking close to water.
NAW man!!!! Now our one hundred dollar bills are BLUE-not green! Even the other green bills will have different colors on them when it comes to our SEALS on our bills, including yellow, red, and blue.
This is weird no one talks like that
No not so easy, you can fill out form for credit card doesn’t mean you will be approved 😂 This guy is silly. Tax is different in every state. We have many cultures many holidays many varieties. We are a melting pot of cultures so yes we have all types of food available. We definitely have international news, we have bbc for one. One state is bigger than many countries not sure why he seems so upset about their individual differences.
Al Jareeza, Shy, NPR, Associate Press, are some other international news stations. But a lot of Americans go online an research the area of interest or conflict, we don't just relay on the news to shape our lens. Also he wouldn't have gotten a credit card if he tried. He isn't a US citizen and doesn't have a credit score.
You guys need to take us around outside and show us how you live. And show us your home and country. Show us your city
This might work better if this guy was actually a funny person. But he just comes off as a whiner.
Everyone comes and stays in big cities they see on TV and they are cool to visit but not real America
This guy on the video is very offensive!
I can easily find international TV. Re asking what country in So. Africa, I understand that we might think of it like the northeast, South, southwest, etc., each consisting of different states. Just a guess.
Another interesting video, guys. I live in Texas, and some of our laws are different. For one, we are an open carry state, which means you can openly carry a gun. But, you can't conceal it without a special permit. Actually, you usually only see guns carried by law enforcement. A lot of gun owners just keep them in their house for protection of their family and property, or in their car for personal protection. But, it's not like the "wild west" as in the cowboy movies.
The other thing is debt. It is a blight on Americans. It is so easy to accumulate debt here, becsuse the credit card companies want you to stay in debt, so they continue to make money from you. We use to have usury laws to protect people, but not any longer. Usury creates ridiculous burdens on people.
How would he like to carry 500 dollars worth of coins in his trousers vs 5 110 dollar bills his trousers would fall off his butt carrying that many coins lol
Our news definitely covers international events we just don't have international news channels. There used to be RT here but with the war it was taken off air and we have Al Jazzera but it isn't carried with all providers not sure how popular it really is here. There is BBC as well and I think you can get Sky News as well. We do have dollar coins too always have you don't see them often but we have them and we have half dollars too. We even used to have half cent, 3 cent, 2 cent. Those have all been gone 150+ years though. I collect coins and have a bunch but its not like you are going to get them in change unless somebody stole a coin collection and is out spending. Some restaurants now have card readers on the table though on every table to use your credit card right there. Mostly big chain places. Our paper money is green but its not like they all look exactly the same.
13:45 The thing about TV is, nobody watches TV. If you're gullible enough to pay $100/mo for cable then it's your own fault for being subjected to these sleazy commercials about lawyers and boner pills. I dunno about this guy's opinions man. My last edit 15:51 this guy says change to be like The Rest Of The World, but The Rest Of The World is kind of backwards compared to the United States, and I say that as someone who doesn't live in the U.S. Maybe The Rest Of The World should change to be like America. 🤷♂🤣
5:40 He may have a point but it may be at the top of his head on this one, if you mistake a 100 dollar bill for a one dollar bill that's user error.
We have 1 coin. People wouldn’t us it.
Not true...cable may not have international...but roku does
This is the way it is if you don’t like it ,get out you won’t be missed
Lol you will know when you have a 100$ bill or a 1$ they feel totally different the 100$ is a bit bigger. So many things are not true lol. And you don't have to use it if you don't like it 😂
The third world doesn’t know how to use credit I have $35,000 in my wallet but only use what I pay at the end of the month for free but have backup in my pocket for emergencies
You better look at the president and number on that bill
I get a laugh at this. Our medicine adverts go like this. Do not take this if you are allergic to it, which you will find out if you are allergic to it after you take it While this medicine will get rid of your headache, some side effects might be that you lose your sense of smell and taste, which you might find after you take it. Or your left arm might fall of in certain circumstances. USA is fun !!!
No he’s right! There are a lot of ignorant people here!
this guy thinks coins are easier to carry than paper ?
Boys town ? Hmmmm ❤
I would'nt say loud but brash.
I agree - go metric.
he is over selling it all a bit for fun, but the its all true iss.
10:15 -- 100% true, and I can't stand it. So rude!
Yeah. In my adult years I've learned to call it out, in a polite way. I don't want to go death because you guys are starved for attention..
Yes America is becoming more and more of one giant shopping mall. Kinda lame
Pay cash like a normal person!!!!
Oh I see the rude people found your comment section
