On the linguistics point - when Americans in general order they love to say ‘I’ll do’ instead of ‘Can I have’ e.g. I’ll do the steak. Also when I was in Boston fast food servers were unnervingly friendly.

YES that's also true. Like what does it mean to 'do' a steak?? Service culture overall is much more energetic/attentive (because of tipping).
