Systems, Processes and Honesty

This is a country of systems, processes and honesty. Everything here from flirting to eating has a certain system and is governed by processes. People seem almost dependent on it, and almost revolt if anybody dares to do otherwise. This is necessary since most things here work on a self service manner be it ordering food at a restaurant or paying at a toll way or doing your own laundry. However there s one thing that is taken as a given for these systems and processes to run and thats honesty. The country expects its citizens to be honest and most people are.
So you take your food first and pay later but nobody goes off without. People tender the exact amount at the unmanned toll booths without acting smart. The next person simply keeps your laundry out without stealing it. In fact this sense of honesty and civic sense is so ingrained in the American psyche that they seem to be doing it all without any apparent effort whatsoever.
