What if you moved to the west coast from the eastern coast (of USA) where a stick of butter meant something different?

This is a time interpretation could be a horrible difference.

Isn’t that just a difference in shape? I think either way it’s the same amount of butter.

Correct, one "stick" of U.S. butter is exactly 8 tbsp regardless of shape, and almost all grocery store brands will be individually-wrapped 8 tbsp blocks.

One stick of butter is defined as 8 tablespoons, no matter the shape it was packaged in, or if you're getting it from a butter churn.
