The cultural differences between Spain and the United States They are notable and cover all kinds of aspects, starting with lifestyle, routines (from going to university or the supermarket) or social customs, but it is common that issues related to fundamental values are especially shocking.
In this sense, he usually highlights that the Spanish, unlike the more reserved style of the Americans, are open, direct and expressive and that with their gestures or tones of voice they also say a lot. Now, Marcus Robertsonan American from New Orleans who has been living in León for some time, has uploaded a video explaining something that especially surprises him about our culture that is arousing a lot of interest.
And Marcus explains to the thousands of followers of his account Tiktok (@permanentmarcus1) that “the Spanish are not afraid” and especially praises their honesty in a very specific situation that surprises him. The publication in which he argues his reflection has gone viral to the point that in one day it exceeds 104,000 views.
“They have no shame”
«I love the Spanish but they have no shame. “Nothing,” he begins his video, in which he points especially, and openly, to his father-in-law, whom he has seen on more than one occasion with the attitude that shocks him so much. Marcus, aware that not everyone may be like this, explains what he has seen when he goes out to lunch or dinner at someone’s house and the hosts or waiters ask “how did you eat?”
Thus, he details that his father-in-law has no problem speaking openly while he tries to mislead a situation that he finds embarrassing. «If I go to a place in the United States and if you ask me how the food is and there is still food pending, if I didn’t like it I’m going to say ‘it was good, it was great, it was different…’, he confesses.
Thus, he emphasizes that he will never say that it was terrible, ironically saying that if the date is not over they could spit in the food so “I’m not even going to take that risk.». After this, Marcus confesses that he has been with friends in Spain, “and especially as my father-in-law,” and “They don’t give a damn, They have no problem saying ‘no, I didn’t like it'” and giving details about whether the meat was bad or the food was undercooked.
He emphasizes that he would feel “ashamed” to confess and that he would limit himself to saying that it is “rich, very rich.” “I wouldn’t risk it, but he… ‘no,'” he ends the video. Dozens of people have commented on the issue and have taken the opportunity to open the debate about whether tipping should be given in this case. «I’ll tell you a secret: is the age. The older you are, the more clearly you speak. “Everything you kept quiet about when you were young you let out when you’re older,” added a user named Toñi, whose comment many liked.
