TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Most other languagesthat are not English have a word or some words to acknowledge a request such as 'please'.
In Dutch it's "alsjeblieft", in German it's "Bitte sehr" and I'm sure that b3tans can come up with more than I can right now.
Point being, they're being extra polite and translating their own language into English in their head. I find it very cute and charming. There just isn't an English equivilent, really.
