It's indicative of either a lack of respect for one's time, or an outsized amount of trust in the establishment. I don't like either.

I drive all day for my job. Cars suck, but I can’t do my job out of a train or off a bicycle. People regularly freak me out by being completely unpredictable when crossing the street and are often completely unaware of their surroundings. Of course there’s essentially no crosswalks in residential neighborhoods by me, so there’s not much of an alternative. Taking crosswalks if they’re nearby and waiting your turn can be a minor convenience, but it’s still much safer.
