Dan,
Remembering that one triggered another difference question I have. Have any of 
the American bartenders experienced this?

Someone from England (or rather I assume they are from England because of the 
accent) will order a drink/drinks.....let's say the total comes to $17.25 and 
they hand you a twenty dollar bill and say "Thank you" as they hand it to you. 
Now, when an American hands you the money and at the same time says "Thank 
you"  they mean: Thank you and keep the change.(If they want change they do 
not say thank you at this point because the transaction is not over)  But when 
someone from England does this  they  mean: Thank you for making my drinks and 
now I will stand here and wait for my change even if it's only a quarter. 

Of course again, I am not making any judgements against any part of the world. 
What is is.
Cheryl
