I have lived in the United States, to be more specific the state of New Jersey, all of my life. With that being said, I have observed that the beach culture in New Jersey is very apparent and strong, so much so that there are nick names for the beach. During the summer months, one can see the amount of traffic that builds up on the Parkway South on any given Friday and the Parkway North on any given Sunday, The people of New Jersey pride themselves on the amount of stickers that they accumulate from the beach patrol. There are actual negative nicknames and feelings toward people that visit the beaches only during the summer months.
The people that are on the beaches usually bring their own coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and whatever other commodities they see fit. This makes the East coast beaches more of a customization experience. One usually needs to find a spot in which they can occupy on busy beach day.
The rest of the world from what my experiences are more inclined to having a pre-set amount of people that can be on the beaches, as well as some kind of restaurant service to go along with your time spent at that beach. The beaches are able to accomplish the standardized number of people by possessing a number of seats and/or adjustable chairs that they accommodate their guests with. It is not customary to bring your own food to the beach, but rather your own towels. The experience differs in that human nudity is much more accepted in various parts of the world, as compared to the standard of the United States. The experience of the beach around the world seems to be much more tailored to the customer, rather than having the ideology that America has. I am not stating one ideology is better than the other, but America has the standard that if "I want something. I will go get it myself."
In the occasion that the beach is full, customers are usually told that that cannot accept anymore and apologize for the inconvenience. America's ideology of the more the merrier is good for the masses, but takes away the quality of the service.
To conclude, customer services around the world are more competitive to that of America. From my world- traveling experience I have noticed that businesses are trying harder around the world to make the customer re-occuring and satisfied with what they have bought. Usually, a service or product that is not American comes with some kind of complimentary service or product. Another example of this would be Jeep vs Land Rover. Land Rover gives with the purchase or lease of the car a complimentary day of adventuring to what the car can do. Jeep's strategy is sell as many Jeeps as they can, without giving any sort of complimentary service or product.
