Mistaken for American while traveling Europe and kicked out of businesses twice.

Canadian traveling through Europe with another Canadian mate and twice now we have been kicked out of businesses because staff assumed we were American. First in Czechia and most recently in Italy. In both cases it has happened almost immediately after staff hearing us speak in English. Neither of us drink and we were being quiet and polite. In Italy the woman running the cafe completely changed once we showed our Canadian passports and even gave us our breakfast for free because she felt so bad. I knew Americans had a bit of a bad rap abroad but I’m shocked by the reactions. Has it always been kinda like this for other CANZUK traveller’s, or is this a newer thing in light of everything going on in the world right now?
