This reminds me of something I saw in India a few years back. We were sitting at a diner and one of the waiters who had been serving us proceeded to sit down for a lunch break at the very restaurant he was working in. And as soon as he was in the role of a customer, he started bossing around his colleagues, insisting with an urgent harsh tone that they bring him this or that. I found that very weird, but given what you say, it now makes a lot more sense…
