Although I'm sure dictionaries change according to modern trends.
I was certain than saying "can I GET" at, for example, a bar was incorrect, as get suggests fetching it yourself. However dictionaries suggest this is fine as it can mean recieve

Indeed, and I've often said that to an offender, and subsequently received a rather vacant look!
You could also substitute 'may' or 'can', above, with 'could'. Standards people, standards!
The question that begs asking, of course, is why are we now breeding so many of these dimwits...?

It seems that much of communication is connotative. (init)
BTW some of the above alternatives do invite piss taking;
"Can I get a drink?" That is quite possible, but I can't be sure.
People really have was too much time on their hands to get hot re language usage

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
