Boss?

Have you been in a place of business lately and had someone call you “Boss”? That trend is really starting to annoy me.

I don’t want to be called “Boss” by anyone. The last person to call me that was a waiter at a restaurant. It felt like they wanted me to feel in charge of them, but in a slave/master way that made me uncomfortable. Are they trying to prey on my psyche to get a bigger tip?

Stop calling me “Boss”, please already.
