Hypersensitive? Cool!
my friend in Louisiana tells me I only object to ma'am because the right cowboy hasn't said ma'am in the proper way to me yet... here's hoping...
I travel a lot, and am seeing it more and more among the younger fellas in customer service, that if you look like you are under the age of 75 - then you get called Miss... because well - -for the reason cimarron stated, us hypersensitive folks don't tip as well if we are think we are being insulted
