Call a person whatever they ask you to. It's good etiquette and sometimes avoids outbursts such as the one in the video. However, both characters in the video are acting badly.

I partially agree with this, but also disagree with this.

If someone wants me to call them "X," I may or may not do it. If I had a best friend, whom I have known for 30 years, wanted me to call them a specific name, then I would oblige, obviously. On the other hand, I am not obligated to call a random person a particular name, just because they want me to. And, if I don't want to call them that name, they should respect my wishes and move on, without causing an outburst. There is no excuse to act disorderly.

I DO NOT want to be obliged or be expected to do anything, just because people expect me to. If I oblige someone's request, it's based off of my own self-conscious decision, not because I should call a "person whatever they ask you to."

Horrible comparison.

The cultural and societal expectations are that children call their friends parents Mr. and Mrs. XXX or ma'am or sir.

When I was growing up, I called my friends parents Mr. and Mrs. XXX. But, as I got older and knew them better, I actually started to call them "mom and dad." I have one friend, whom I have known for like 30+ years, since Ive been like 7 years old. These days, I don't even knock on the door when going to his parents home. I just walk in and I'm like "Hey, mom and dad." I go into the refrigerator without even asking, etc. Would I do this the first day I met them? Of course not. But after 30 years, they actually encourage and expect it.

I hate this whole "I am expected or obligated to do X" just because some person, whom I have never met, asks. Everyone situation is different. I may or may not oblige that person's request, depending on the context.

Probably neither. When I was a teenager and worked for a department store, I usually just said, "Hi, how are you."

To be honest, knowing today's political climate, I would call them neither, as I would want to avoid a confrontation. That is what is happening in society. One wrong slip, you're fired, then can never find another job based on one video. One has to be very careful these days.

Not at all. Politeness and proper etiquette apply to both situations. Just answer the very simple question, should you call someone by what they ask you to or not?

If I were the manager or the owner of that store, I'd fire the clerk for arguing with the customer and fueling the ruckus that ensued.

This a different situation, but it goes to show that the customer is always right.

If someone asked me to address them differently, I would not feel obliged to comply with their wish, but I'd give them that courtesy anyway. So, if you decide that you'd like me to call you shithead, I will. :)

Of course they're usually assholes. Nice people don't give clerks a hard time.

This reminds me, in 2017 The Oregon Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a 2015 ruling — and a $135,000 fine — that two Gresham bakery owners discriminated against a gay couple by refusing to make them a wedding cake, violating Oregon law. I don't agree with this ruling. It does example that legally, the customer was right. "What a world...what a world."

Well, that's the fundamental difference. You will call them what they want to be called out of courtesy, but that's still your conscious decision to be courteous toward them.

That is much different than being obligated, bullied, expected, or legislated to honor their requests.

To the best of my ability, I try to be courteous to others in order to best meet their needs. I just won't be bullied into doing so.

What's happening is a perfect example of the social psychology term, Psychological Reactance (PR). The exact definition, "The tendency to resist being influenced or manipulated by others, usually by doing the opposite of what is desired or expected."

This is precisely why Trump won. People felt like their rights were being taken away by the left by limiting free speech and trying to influence and manipulate speech on college campuses, etc, what other people do and say. So, what did people do? They did the exact opposite and voted for Trump, who, in their minds, represented the opposite.

The Liberals/Democrats still have not learned that people don't change by being bullied. And, if they are being bullied into change, its a superficial, behavioral change, not an reorganization of cognitive structures.

Okay. I get it. This is not an issue which should legislated. We were talking about two different things. Common courtesy and business ethics aside, everyone should be allowed to address others as they please without fear of being sued for discrimination. Sometimes, what is right and what is real don't jive.

If we stick to the content of the posted video, I think the store clerk was out-of-line. I also feel the character making a ridiculous fuss about how he or she is addressed is wrong. However, there are often consequences for what we do or say. To be completely fair here, the clerk should be fired and the customer should have been escorted out of the store and perhaps given a no trespass notice.

I thought transgender people prefer gender neutral pronouns. Yo'self, verself or perself are all possibilities.

The whole event was likely a setup for a Youtube post. Youtube, selfies and senseless soical media websites....everyone believes they deserve 15 minutes of fame. ::)  We've become a very narcissistic society. SAD (how very Trumpian of me)!  ;D

How was the store clerk out of line? What did he do wrong?

Insulting the customer for one. Contributing to the uproar for another.

By not yielding to the customer's very simple and frankly harmless request to be addressed as ma'am.

Should he have yielded from a business perspective? From a personal perspective? Or, both?

From a business perspective. How the clerk feels personally is irrelevant. The 'what's it' posed no threat to the clerk.

Well, in this day and age, any business is prone to being "shut down" for the most minor perceived offense.

We can agree about this. I, for one am not delighted by our sue happy, money grubbing society. -Punitive damages ugh! The couple who once owned Sweet Cakes Bakery in Gresham, OR know all about being forced to shutter their doors because of a questionable remark to a customer.
