Just remind people what time of day.

Morning
Afternoon
Evening

Then add either

M'lady
or
Sirrah.

Sorted.

Son came home in a huff because his teacher has been calling him 'honey' and 'flower'. IM NOT A HONEY he says. My wife's a teacher and she says she calls her students 'chaps' even though she works in a girls school. Fucks sake our future is in the hands of these wasters.

I worked in an office where we ironically started saying 'greetings' as a hello, which obviously then became habitual and not ironic. Now I work somewhere else but can't walk into the office without saying GREETINGS

For some reason the kids in my office don't say "thank you" but "thanking you". I don't know if it's ironic or what, but I'm sure as shit going to murder them soon.

You've stopped it now, though, and that's what counts. Thanking you.

Right, that's a flight of tasting Sliders, a loaded half shell and a fluid quart o' Guac.

Would you like that all together or just as it comes?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

"Can I just ask if there are any allergies?"

Unbearable.

Weirdly though, I do quite like it in kebab shops when they call me "boss".
"Yes Boss." Is the standard greeting from non-chain shop and takeaway staff round these parts.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

"If I can just ask you to pop your card in there"

Scum.

"Thanks very much, enjoy the rest of your day."

Where will it end

"Then I hope you don't enjoy the rest of 'your' day."

Are you getting "hi! I'm Jake and I'll be your server today! Any questions about the menu?" yet? Because that's every fucking meal over here.

It'll come for you lot if it's not there already.

At chain restaurants that's pretty much par for the course. Same with anywhere vaguely trendy around here.

My secret to success - go to a restaurant where you are manifestly unwelcome and the staff are surly.

They're there to get paid money, not because they have an abiding passion for customer service, you're there because you're lazy and want to eat their slop, not because you're on a gastronomic quest.

It's a lot more honest, believe me.

Ach, I reckon I'd hate that. I hate feeling like I'm imposing and I reckon that would just make me want to eat everything quickly and end up with indigestion.

Yeah fair enough it's got a reek of chain bullshit doesn't it?

Maybe "disinterested" is a better way of putting it. I used to live near koreatown and the place was chock full of tiny dumpling stores lit by fluorescent lights and staffed by bored teenagers who chain-smoked cigarettes by the back door. It was boss, no pretence at all.

"More dumplings (because I am scum) please"
"Ok, but only because I'm being paid to do this"

Yeah, maybe that would be not so bad. Maybe the food would make up for it.

The place I'm thinking of was cheap and spicy, much like the clientele. Recommend.
