Questionable Content features a coffee shop whose main selling point is rudeness to customers as well. It’s mostly portrayed as sassy banter the customers enjoy and occasionally partake in. Wikipedia’s article on Durgin Park gives the same impression. In the webcomic, customers also tend to be hipsters who enjoy the originality; I don’t know about real life.
Durgin Park’s customers are more middle-class tourists, and it’s not quite as extreme as the fictional coffee shop in QC, but the spirit is similar. As long as we’re talking fictional examples, I’m reminded of Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi as well, which I also gather was inspired by a RL vendor.
