What's your take on an employee at a store or a restaurant calling you anything other than sir? Does it bother you to be called "boss," "chief," "buddy," "pal" or anything similar?

Hey there Sparkles, thanks for the call. You know, I love the people, and the people love me. Whether it's sparkles, or sunshine, or chief, or champ, or Elmhurst Steve, I like to make the people happy. Give them a pep in their step as it were. So if it makes a Douchebag here get a smile on his face if I call him Twinkletoes, or Sweetcheeks, well then my day is complete.

For your troubles let's hook you up. I'll get Mindy to get you a Lou's gift card, and I think we have some Garrett's Popcorn prize packs in back...maybe get you a MyPillow 2.0, too. And with Valentine's Day coming, we'll get you a PajamaGram for the special lady in your life.

Back to the phones.

Did you hear the bank on the corner is offering a hundred dollars if you go in there and they don't greet you with a hello?

I forget the sexual harassment terms older women use for younger men: sugar, hon, sweetie, etc.

Normally I don't really care, but I hate when employees use a term like "honey" to diffuse a situation where something is wrong. Awhile back I was ordering something at fast food place and they got my order wrong. I got the ladys attention to notify her and she gave me some attitude as if I had ordered incorrectly and referred to me as "honey". I just about went Jim Cornette at DQ on her ass.

Do you ever respond to anyone, or just type this brain damaged gibberish onto the board for a sort of therapeutic enrichment?

As much as I like the idea, it's harder to enforce the behavior of one's customers than that of one's employees.

But yeah, I don't want to be sitting in Everest next to some asshole wearing a Cubs cap:

You should always call a female miss no matter how old she is. She'll love it.

I’m sure the asshole wearing the Cub cap isn’t too keen on sitting next to a puffy old Sock fan, either.
