I read frequently this board and i am happy to be one of you, guys and gals.

But ... what is that like "I request ......." are we here for the business?

Why wont you do it politely? like "please, would you" or at least, "please..."

It just seems that many users here have problems with their English

However, just imagine, that in your language someone says "I request $2 tips" is that polite?
