When did it become so prevalent for waitresses to use we? As in.

"Are we to order yet?"

"Do we have any questions?"

I find it annoying. Although the waitress topped it off Sunday at breakfast by asking, "Can we get us drinks to go?"

I was this close to saying, "What the [BLEEP] does that even mean?" But I was with my wife and that stopped me in my tracks. I could see her give me 'the look', because I had discussed this pet peeve with her already.
