An American complained about his experience in an English ‘Five Guys’ joint and sympathy was thin on the ground

You knew it closed at 10pm before you went in. You were lucky you got food. The decent thing would have been to take it away with you instead of crying on here like a manbaby. Workers have lives outside of work. Grow up!

Because most customers in the uk aren’t entitled Americans that demand people cook for them when they’re aware people on minimum wage have been working until 10pm at night and will be closing to finally go home. Most people would have something else or go somewhere that’s open

I see why you might be confused. When it said it closes at 10, you actually thought it meant it closes at 11. Easy mistake to make. Please try to learn the King’s English for future reference.

What sort of manlet takes more than 15 minutes to eat a late night burger. Tart.

The American mind cannot comprehend a world without 24/7 access to cheese burger.

I don't usually have cause to feel patriotic, but seeing an American get culture shock when service industry workers don't bow and scrape to them because in this country they're not reliant on the generosity of customers to pay the rent will do it https://t.co/wnMivSkj0B

Americans will (somewhat rightly) scream at you to respect tipping culture over there, but then don't have the decency to accept our culture of being grumpy and telling people we don't like to fuck off. https://t.co/qOisKPMFr9

It seems it was the old ‘two nations divided by a common language’ thing again.
We’re guessing he’s learnt his lesson.
For the angry English mob who wants me burned at the stake, or if you just want to spit in or stomp on my food, be sure to come to the Popeye's on Bury New Road in Prestwich this Friday night at 155 am when I get my order in at the wire. Sign says open until 2 am. Don't miss out! pic.twitter.com/jWMFpCQqID
