Yup and typically the refrigerator sticks out 4-5 inches from the counter. 
And no one minds. In other words, you won't notice it after a 
while.  S'matter of fact, if there is counter top on the hinge side, the 
fridge will open farther because it has better clearance. Are you getting 
all new fridges?  Our units were "delivered" without refrigerators--not 
required here to get a certificate of occupancy--and a number of us moved 
in with our refrigerators. My "old" one was just 1.5 years old.
