I've had people go off on me for calling them Ma'am OR Sir before. Some just don't like it, they think it's rude because they insinuate that it means they're old
Gotta love Freddy's! I shop there often. I had a friend who worked there for 7 years. The stories I heard from her were amazing, especially during the holidays! I hope you found something much betterOriginally Posted by oregon
I worked for Fred Meyer, a "one stop shopping center" for three years. I just had to quit cold turkey one day and trust my luck. I had started to have nightmares about going to work. & one more christmas there & I would have just flipped.
Look for a better place for yourself. As for those type of customers, I had them too and sometimes I still meet them one way or another.
It is their way to exercise power. They are most likely absolute zeros in their life/mind and treating you like dirt is their shinning moment of power for the day.
Hope you feel better thougth, being sick make everything worse.
Take care

They're probably ex-military enlisted men. Only officers are addressed as "Sir" and its the enlisted personnel who do all of the work.Originally Posted by Bonnie1965
Also, I hear men say all the time not to call them "Sir" because they work for a living.
That, and also it can be used to make someone feel more like they are talking to a equal not above them..Originally Posted by katl8e
