A good joke, but where did you find such a West?
All the difference between our and Western mentality can be seen from the turnikets in the subway. The western system turbines are closed, but they will open immediately as soon as you pay for the ticket. Soviet turnikets are always open, but if you do not pay, they strangely and painfully beat below the belt.
I don’t know about the entire western system, but in Germany, for example, there are no turnikets in the subway. Entrance is free (not to be confused with free). Check in the car once a month.
