Comment on What was the stupidest form of US defaultism you've encountered in real life whilst they're abroad?

English is the common tongue of the world. Expecting everyone you might plausibly interact with to speak enough for basic communication is in fact reasonable. Fun fact: burger King used to accept dollars in Germany. I don’t know if they still do.

As far as I know they only did this in areas with a lot of US traffic, like around military bases or in tourist towns. It was probably very profitable because they’d give you horrible conversion rates.
