Not in every country. Please do not generalize.
Maybe in some countries. But it's a big world.
Maybe in your country, but that is not the case in every country.
Why are we assuming this is US specific? Does it not happen in other countries? (Not rhetorical, i have no idea what the answer is)
It works in every other country.
In some countries this is not uncommon.
"in some countries" might include countries outside the US, though! ;-)
Maybe its different in other countries
Those things aren't exclusive to the US.
plenty of countries in the world where this is a non-issue :)
