“someone looked at him on the street”

the key words here are ‘daily’ and ‘stared’. Not looked at once.

Why do you think delivery service exists! So laowai don’t have to put up with bad Chinese customer service in the restaurant!

I actually think this has more to do with class than race/culture. This kind of guy is legion stateside and they would have either condescendingly “man-splained” the ‘customer is always right’ trope to the low-level service employee or verbally berated them in a petulant show of force for some perceived minor slight.

Asking for the manager is such a BS move, it delegitmizes the employee as nothing like a child, only the manager is the adult who can be talked to as an equal.

I guarantee you this guy would have said the same things back in the states (or Oz or Canada or UK or whatever Anglo country he’s from) to bolster his fragile snowflake of an ego.

The 3 million RMB comment is hilarious, for its content and that he thinks it makes him tough shit. All it made me think of was GOB from Arrested Development.

taunted? im in the sticks and ppl get used to you very quick in the area – “oh, there’s that laowai again”, so the ‘staring’ shouldn’t be an issue. Especially in Shanghai! He’s hardly the only foreigner. Plus, if he doesn’t like being “stared at”, being a foreigner isn’t really a good career move!

No, m’lord, what we have here is a simple case of douche-itis. You see it in BJ too, tossers who think they’re something special, but are in fact a mediocre fish in a small pond. Y’know, the sort of ppl they write for and about in the beijinger

This guy is probably a nice guy back home, but when you get stared at and taunted on a daily basis, it makes you extremely irritable. China will drive you insane and is not recommended for human consumption. Maybe in 20-30 years the staring and “老外！” taunting from across the street will stop.

Maybe. But anyway, this recording is a few years old. By now the new Chinese regulations have swept wealthy foreigners like this out of the country.
