Americans wear shoes inside the house. Yes, it turns out it's not just in the movies. They don't have the concept of slippers or 'walking barefoot at home'; they put on shoes every time and practically walk to the bathroom at night in heels
-
The price on the tag is not the same as at the register. It is higher due to tax, which is not included in the price.
-
A pharmacy is not just a place where medicine is sold. It is usually a large space that includes household goods, groceries, and, accordingly, medical supplies.
-
Drinking water from the tap. Good savings. That feeling when we only found out about this after a month of staying there
-
Food products can be returned to the store. Didn't like the chocolate donuts? Present the receipt at the store and get ready for a refund.
-
Constantly running air conditioning (on max!), ice in every drink, always.
-
Month/Date/Year. This seems insignificant and unimportant—but not when you are sitting at the front desk and filling out entry forms every time
-
'How are you?' in America is like 'Hi.' And every time a person walks past you, you're like 'good, thanks, and you?', 'great, thanks, and you?', 'I'm great, how are you?', well, you get it...)

Selection in stores. It. Is. Huge. There are about 30 types of milk here. I won't even mention the cereal. A whole aisle on both sides just for them. And we were told that this is still a small store... Big cars (a Mini Cooper is really a small car here compared to the rest), big portions (one portion is more than enough for two, and you'll even take some home), big people—unfortunately, this is not a myth, but the truth. Every 3rd American suffers from obesity. And they aren't just 'fat,' but truly obese.
What impressed you the most? Did you know about all this before?
