Back in my days of shitty jobs like store clerk, security guard, janitor… (yes, janitor), most people addressed me with hey man, dude, bro. No problem there. I addressed them with “Sir” or “Ma’am”. Every once in a while someone would address me with “Sir”, and for some strange reason I used to feel good about it. I would be usually nicer to such customers and managers. Perhaps work extra hard for them.
So lately, I decided to use Sir, Ma’am & Miss to address employees in at Starbucks & resturants. This has immidiatley increased the quality of service I get at these places.
