Is "Give Me A Burger And A Soda" Rude?

@MainerMikeBrown Said

I have a friend who works at a fast-food restaurant. And it irritates him when some of the customers say "Give me a soda," or "Give me a burger."

However, I've also had people tell me "Give me such and such" at previous jobs I've had where I had to deal with the public. And I never found it to be offensive.

My opinion is that if the customer told me to give him something and he meant what he said, that would be a little offensive. I'd feel like I was being bossed around.

But probably most people don't mean it that way. They don't mean it to sound like they're pushing you around by implying that they want a burger or soda "Right now, or else!"

My friend disagrees, however. He thinks it's rude and pushy even if they don't mean it that way.

Would it kill people to say please and thank you? It's a lousy job which most people do because they're working towards something better or are just starting out.
When did it become hard to be a little polite?
It's not necessary, just thoughtful.

Don't know about rude, but it is stupid. Fast 'food' is not actual food as a rule. The only question one should ask in a fast food restaurant is, "excuse me, can you direct me to a place that sells food?"

Please and Thank You are words our generation use,we live in a modern world where rudeness rules supreme,if you want something off a shelf when you go shopping,you don't say Excuse me,you just shove in or push the person standing in your way out of the way.
Much easier to make a fool of yourself than to be pleasant .
