and she is obviously younger than you, does that bug you?

i find it funny when they say that to me or call me sweetie, but generally they are the older type women that work the counter

its condascending as hell like a small trainer calling me big guy
-
i have gone to a couple of different locations that my gym has and i have yet to see a trainer witha dody style i like. i hate when they call me big man...especially since im a tubo
-
and she is obviously younger than you, does that bug you?
Although i work in a bar, i find i do call people "hun" or "love"...then again, i'm probably the oldest bartender around and most of the people that come in there are in their early to mid 20's...
BUT, it would be pretty irritating to have some young person say that to me.

She probably didn't mean anything by it but I can see it as being disrespectful if taken the wrong way. thats like me walking in there and saying, "Hey kid, can you help me with this"?

I never care what people who work in retail say...
-

actually no...as long as she is in her 20s i likes it...i usually call her hon or darlin back :D
-
These are to a lesser extent terms of enderement and not to be taken offensively, I would rather be called hon than.. eh you!

It does. I think it's weird, but I like it better than "maam".

True. at 6.50/hour who really cares:)

I'm not a fan of that either but like others said before me, they could totally ignore you or call you worse.

ooooooooo...i agree w/this ;D

Got it Ames aka Flowey ;D
-
lololz! We'll you'd be different. I get someone work related I have spoken to one time and they call me Ames. Or Aimster. ::)
The Aimeister Rocks!!! Ya know I love ya Flower. ;)
-
I usually say "Thanks Bitch" :)
What I hate is when people make your name into a nickname and you don't really know them.
I get Ames. >:( No it's AAAAAAAAAA-MMEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Amy! Got it bitch/bastard? >:(
You tell 'em flower:)

I used to HATE it when I was called maam. >:(
About 10yrs ago, my girlfriend's 14 yr old son used to call me 'maam' & 'Miss Judi' and I absolutely hated it.
Then 3 yrs ago, while in Austin TX, I had this 25yr old absolute stud muffin call me ma'am...
{blush} ...I liked it. I really liked it. {giggle} Now, I'm at a point where it doesn't bother me anymore, and I just accept it as a sign of respect... (as well as a source of titilation especially coming from a hunk.) :P

I used to bitch about being called "honey" or "sweetie" until someone elucidated me to the fact that someday I'd get old and only wish someone would call me that. :'(

You forgot "dude", "buddy", "pal" and "mac". Those are the other names guys are called when "sir" is not used.

Well then, you can understand our resentment for being called Maam. lol
It's hard to know what to call people. When if I have to refer to someone that I don't know in such terms, I call older men "sir", younger men "hun", older women or those around my age "dear" and younger women/girls "honey/sweetie".

I hear ya Cheri, I guess it all in how you present it in your voice tone or wording. If I wroked in a store and beautiful women came in all day I certainly would not be calling them "dear" or "maam", thats for sure. What ever happened to the old "Can I help you with anything"?

Being called Ma'am has never bothered me. I guess because I am a woman of a "certain age".
Besides, if it's good enough for the Queen of England, it's good enough for me.
