    Will it get me better service at restaurants?

    If so, wonderful. If not, I really don't care what complete strangers in far away places think. Since 95% of the world has never met an American or someone who has, what they feel is besides the point. Maybe they think we don't have horns and worship Muslim Satan anymore. Ok, so there's that.
