Once I was at a sushi restaurant and I absentmindedly bowed a bit with my hands in the prayer position.
I just said thank you when they brought my bill. I was mortified!!! I left a huge tip and never went back.
One of my local Thai restaurants has "wine by the grass" written out on the menu.
I hope most people aren't hurt when language errors seem funny, my Japanese is not even conversational much less good enough to work in food service or notice if I said something funny. Care must be taken to separate a comical difference in the way we say things from prejudice and thinking it means something about a person's humanity or intelligence.

Also relevant, my college Chemistry teacher was going down the mole-related measurements, and noting that some students are going to have trouble confusing molarity and molality which are different things, and you may have to practice a bit.
I worked at a CD-ROM reseller in San Francisco in the 1990s staffed mostly by second-generation immigrants from China. They commonly poked fun at each other's accent, with the fly lice! thing bouncing around the room at least once a week.
