But nothing about the menu interferes with you eating what you've bought. The menu is on the table-- it isn't stapled to your steak when it comes. Salt and pepper are available for use-- they aren't an upsell opportunity.

In the US, it's common (though not universal) that bread is put on the table - you can eat it, or not. It's part of the service.

In many countries around the world, they bring bread - but if you eat it, they charge you. If you don't, they don't.

Americans are often disappointed (even angry) when they discover this, at the end of the meal.

So maybe all of this angst is coming from expectations, and not the actual situation?
