Triggered at the bread store
Went to a regional chain bread place by a really liberal college nearby for the wife to get bread, was told to get a loaf of "Honey White" and a loaf of "Honey Wheat", and asked the girl(?) waiting on me for those and was like, "Ha ha... *honey*?"
She was very quiet and went to slice the bread and when she took my money said, "Sir, I will have to ask you not to refer to me or any other person who works here as 'Honey'." I was so thrown I just apologized and left.
Now I'm thinkin' I shoulda said, "As long as you refrain from calling me 'Sir'... I am not a knight."

You shoulda told her to shut the fuck up and do her job.
RawSuger
guessing she thought you were flirting and wasnt pleased. well within her right to brush you off

I mean its not offensive, but its definitely patronising.

Why would it be okay to start calling random people - especially those providing you a service - by pet names?

It is GREAT to hear how accepting the world can be of different points a view. I think we are all going to be OK!

As someone who lives in the south, callin someone honey or baby is just part of the vernacular
Chereazi
Ok Sweetie. Honey is really not something you'd call a random stranger...
AlexisActually
Obviously you've never been to the south.

Maybe if all parties stopped being so damn butthurt and offended about EVERY damn thing on either side, we could start being a bit better.
ShamelessUpvoteWhore
k, but "sir" is a token of respect.

I know a woman named Honey, though.

Do you mean a bakery? Or do you have a store that literally just specializes exclusively in having bread shipped to them to stock.

It's called 'Breadsmith', they specialize in fancy artisan bread baked onsite, so technically it is a bakery, but not a traditional one.
