Ways to get it wrong
Confusing 'poder' with 'poder'
Use 'puede' (he/she/it can) when asking if the server can give you something.
Forgetting 'por favor'
Always include 'por favor' (please) to maintain politeness in service requests.
A small cultural note
In many Spanish-speaking countries, water is not automatically refilled as it often is in the US. You'll usually need to ask for a refill.
