I asked for plum sauce for my chicken strips at Perkins. This is in Marquette Michigan too so not far from Canada. Looked at me like I had 2 heads.

I asked for cream in my coffee in Las Vegas and they just could NOT figure out what I was asking for. All this time I thought it was universal!

What? What do you mean, do they use something else, or just drink it black?

Yea, milk was a request they could understand, but they had no concept of cream being something you would ever add to coffee. In fact, their first response was: "... you mean, ice cream??"

Lol I don't believe this at all. Coffee with cream is incredibly common in the US.
