As someone living in a very touristic place, it’s really hard to distinguish Americans from wealthier Brits. You pretty much have to hear them speak. Poorer Brits definitely stand out and I’m guessing so would poorer Americans but we don’t get a lot of poor Americans (for obvious reasons). It’s easy to spot Scandinavians and as I’m from eastern Europe I can easily pick up Poles and tell them apart from Russians and Ukrainians. Spanish and Italians are also easy to recognize and distinguish. I’m not a waiter so I don’t know which ones are the worst customers.
It’s funny being an American in Scandinavia wearing Haglofs, Fjallraven, and Mascot. Everyone is confused as shit when I greet them in their language but then immediately pivot to English.
In Spain, in museums or coastal towns I can have entire conversations with someone such that I’m speaking Spanish and they speak English. They just don’t register that I’m speaking Spanish. In other places they don’t speak English so there are no issues.

After working with poles for years, I can recognize them on the street without them saying a word.
I would hope so? Are you a lineman?
Yeah, for the county
Unpopular opinion: the Wade Hayes cover is superior. I’m sorry, it just is.
