My husband can be that way (the bad way, alas.) He will order at fast food restaurants saying, for example, “I’d like a 7-layer burrito and a large iced tea with extra ice.

I am polite just because it’s second-nature, but it does have benefits. The folks at my local deli constantly give me free stuff, my dry cleaner puts my clothes at the head of the queue, and when I rented DVDs from a store, I almost never paid a late charge.
