If people were required to give the full back story of every trivial absurdity they encountered "in the wild" the world would turn into a very boring place.
An analogy would be – someone from a non-tipping country complains about the fact that some restaurants in the US have a "compulsory gratuity" of 20% for larger parties. Sure, somewhat outrageous, but less so if you consider that tipping 15-20% is the norm in the US anyway.
