Not only with their permission. In many cases at the request of the host country. Plenty of countries would like to host a US base.

I would say the latter is closer. There's a tiny pause after the k.

Here in Finland, since their return in 2013, Burger King has sought to differentiate from other chains by having self serve drinks and unlimited refills.

Live in a country where tipping is practically unheard of. Lately pay terminals have started appearing in restaurants that have asking for tip enabled by default, and restaurants often don't know how to disable it.

Well, at least there are some safeguards. I was handed the terminal so I put in my PIN code, not realising it was actually asking for a tip. I was pretty confused when it said "value too high" or something like that.

My previous employer was acquired and the new owner required jumping through these kinds of hoops to use company email or Teams on our phones.

As an end result, everybody stopped using those on their phones. Once the laptop lid was shut, work wouldn't be bothering you until you open it the next day. Sometimes stupid things can lead to good outcomes.
