    When I was a kid, my family lived in a VW van for a while driving around Europe to various physics labs...... my parents spoke dutch, and once we were at a restaurant in Italy... I was eating a TON of bread, as I was hungry, and the waiter gave my parents a very nervous look... He heard them speaking dutch and he knew Dutch too, so he started telling them that he'd seenAamericans freak out when the get the bill when somebody eats lots of bread, because the bread is not free, each slice is charged for, and he wanted to make sure we didn't freak out.... my parents talked to him for a long time.. it seems being a waiter in Italy isn't a bad job, not a great one, but it's not like some places where most waiters are wannabe actors,etc...
