Bonjour! Yes, it's very common to have a server ask you "Qu'est-ce que vous voulez boire?". It's not to be taken as rude at all. You may also hear "Qu'est-ce que je vous sers?" or "Que souhaitez-vous boire?". Of course, since you are at the very beginning, we try to keep the constructions as simple as possible and in the present tense. You'll learn more of the conditional tense in higher levels.
Bonne continuation!
