When you order food from a waitress, what words do you start out with?

Actually, I’ve thought about this for years and years, from back in my own waitressing days. People ask for their food in one of a very few ways ways.
*I want….
*Gimme…
*I need….
*I’ll take…..
*I’d like….
*I’ll have…
I wonder if how they ask says anything about them. For example, when they say “I’ll take…” or “Gimme…” does that subconsciously signal that they feel superior to the waitress, who is, after all, there to serve them.
And what about those who say, “I need….” I heard a guy say that last week….WTH does that mean?
I always say, “I’d like…....Thank you.”
