It's been implied in comic that it'd be like human sex. There's plenty of evidence of chassis being equipped for penetrative sex (most of it from May, but still), as well as AIs expressing a desire to have various forms of non-penetrative sex (May's expressed such a desire to have both non-penetrative and penetrative sexual relations with a cis human man).

I'm not one of those people, but I still feel compelled to question how that is relevant to the discussion of how one human being treats another.

1) Customers can be the worst part of working any service industry job in America°. Store clerks, servers, and cashiers often face horrid self-entitled people that seem to just be looking for an excuse to launch into a verbally abusive tyrade. Just look up "retail horror stories" for some real life examples.
2) Employers use tips as an excuse to not pay servers full price. So when the bills come due and either business is slow or there's a bunch of people not tipping, the wait find themselves in a pretty bad situation.
°Granted, customers can also be the best part of the job.[/]
Case:
Still see nothing here that justifies extending American exceptionalism into granting 'murricans a free pass from humdrum, everyday ethical constraints like "Thou shalt not try to intimidate your neighbour into giving you money".
Just because your Prez seems to believe it to be true, don't make so, just sayin' :laugh:
I'd also ask you whether you have worked service industry jobs in any of the other 192 UN member countries, so as to a at least have a subjective base for comparison to base that argument on?

I answered the question as to why someone might behave as such. I didn't defend the behavior.
President Dick-Turd can die in a fire.
I've only worked as fast food cashier, store clerk, cart-pusher, and crew transporter in a few different states in the USA (which is nearly the same size as Europe). So I'm working from an incomplete data set based on reactions from other nationalities to previously stated retail horror stories.
BTW, I've been screamed at by an inattentive mother for keeping her unattended 4 year-old from opening and eating a box of rat poison some jackass left with the candy by the register. I lost count of how many times I was nearly ran over in the first two weeks of being a cart-pusher (Oklahomans are terrible drivers).
