Yeah, I’ve heard getting water in restaurants is weird in several countries in Europe. Sparkling water is apparently default in some places (italy I think?).
I remember my mom having to order “Leitungswasser” whenever we went to a restaurant when I was a kid. And ice in drinks isn’t a thing there, either (or wasn’t then, at least).
No, it’s not. People will complain regularly about places like Burger King and McDonald’s who throw ice cubes into drinks. I, personally, hate it as well. I don’t want my water close to the freezing point, and I would rather not get bumped int the teeth by lumps of frozen water that dilute my drink and hurt my teeth.
If they leave a dedicated water fountain I see no issues. You shouldn’t need employee assistance for freaking water.
Never travel to Germany with that mindset.

In Germany it is and you gotta pay for water.
It’s illegal to charge for water in the US.

What, do you bite the cup when you sip? You shouldn’t be bathing your teeth in whatever you’re drinking like that unless it’s just straight water
Straws negate the ice bumping your teeth problem, but not the other things. It’s an acquired taste. I’m fine with either, personally.
