I have heard a lot of these things from South Asians.

Return Policy - Does not exist back home. Though I hear now merchants are being forced into this as so many Indians have spent time in the US.

Informality at work - Very different from over there

Tipping - Very foreign to them as it does not exist back home (earning the consternation of restaurant waitstaff)

Traffic - very orderly (or at least we don’t have daily 15 car pileups that generally involve an elephant or a camel)

"traffic"

One thing that stuns by Brit in-laws is how orderly traffic is in the U.S. At least in most areas...I'm sure there are exceptions. I have the impression they get from American movies that every other driver is a psychopathic killer with an assault rifle on the passenger seat.
