  • attitudes of "don't care" employees that don't take responsibility for their work
  • business attire and attitudes (i.e. different customs)
  • treatment of elders (i.e. sending them to old folks home)
  • tolerance of children being rude
  • table manners (differ from country to country)
  • possibly use of inappropriate words in a derogatory manner... gay, lame, ######ed (personally this bothers me the most)
Note that I grew up in Canada myself so they arn't a concern of mine (except the last point - that really bothers me, but I digress), just pointing ones I could see a foreigner seeing.
This one isn't all bad.
