Expecting Free Refills
In American eateries, it is quite common, although not universal, for certain dining establishments to provide their patrons with complimentary drink refills. As a result, when Americans go abroad, they are in for an annoying surprise when they have to pay for every cup they drink.
Having complimentary refills outside of America is exceedingly rare, and if there happens to be a place that offers such a service, it would be noteworthy indeed.
