     In the U. S.  people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know.  If you're sitting at
 a table with people you don't know, it's impolite to smoke without first asking if it will disturb (打扰) them.
     At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served cold water before you order. You
 may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill (续杯).
     Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though
  they usually do make rules for bars.  Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
     Servings (提供的食物) in restaurants are often large, too large for many people.  If you can't finish
 your meal but would like to have the food later, ask your waiter or waitress for a "doggie bag",  It may
 have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you're taking the food for yourself.
    Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have "Sunday dinner". This is
 an especially big noon meal.
    Tips are not usually added to the 'check (账单). They are not included in the price of the meal,
 either.  A tip of about 15 % is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave.  In some
 restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress
 brings you your change,
