    I'm amused by the idea of this being a cultural thing. Like, "Non-alcoholic? No, that can't be right. We'd better give them beer instead. And one-and-a-half times what they asked for, just to be safe."

    To be fair a few years ago I tried ordering a cola and the guy was like "beer?" I said "no, cola" and his response was "beer...?". So I'd not be surprised. Serves me right before going to Germany and not ordering a beer. I'm not a beer drinker, sadly...except in the case I was given the beers, or when I had a random Swedish guy give me a man-hug and beer because he declared himself a true Viking.
