In fact I'd never know about it if I haven't seen it in the movies.
It's not a custom in Japan either, but common in the US. While we were in Florida last month, the wait staff at breakfast where ever we ate were quite attentive to refilling coffee cups for free, but three different places told us we'd have to pay for a second cup of tea. One chain breakfast restaurant did go so far as to give us a small pot (one extra cup) of hot water, but wouldn't give us another tea bag for it. That chain even goes so far as to leaving a large carafe of coffee on each table.
