darchildreDear Patrons,
Please don't call me "sweetie". Or "sweetheart". Or "hon". Or any other diminutive nickname that may occur to you. You don't know me, you don't get to call me that.
I realize that I don't wear a nametag (because I don't like people knowing my name if I don't know theirs). I realize that this means you don't know my name. That's cool - I don't know yours either. You might notice that, in those situations where I have to call you something, I use "sir" or "ma'am". You can feel free to call me "miss". Or "ma'am", if you like that better. Because those are respectful terms of address and not ridiculous overly familiar condescending nonsense.
Thank you.
