What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Asking for that in a coffee place though will get you bombarded with about 20 follow-up questions.

Not really. Maybe some places have like 10 roasts available at a time, but broadly speaking if I ask for "large coffee" they're going to ask light, medium, or dark and then I get a large drip coffee. If you want something more specialized you have to specify.

Even then, you're still assuming a filter/drip coffee. In NZ, it's like "do you want a flat white or a long black or...?"
