[quote=Anonymous]99% of the time if someone does this, it's someone in a low paid role, likely working for tips, in a service/hospitality business. Most like a woman and odds are good they are not a teenager and that this is their full time job. It just seems ridiculous to be offended in that context. Even if I'm unaccustomed to being addressed that way and it feels a little infantalizing (sure), it's just very obvious that the person doing it is not my oppressor. If anything, it's the opposite. So yeah, I tolerate it. Now if the CEO of my company did this while telling me to get his coffee even though I'm a highly educated professional, I would feel differently about it. But that's not usually how this works at this point. Maybe back in the 90 at the most recent.[/quote]
