None Taken! It's my everyday come back when people call me 'Sir'. It's like my second Store Manager when someone would call him 'Mister Anderson' he'd say-- Originally Posted by 32t

To me being called Sir is a sign of age.
The older I get the more it seems to happen!

Unless you happen to be in an establishment with armed forces personnel in uniform. They are unfailingly polite and respectful. I enjoy that even though I hate being called sir and my wife detests being called ma’am. Makes us feel old. Originally Posted by 32t

I haven't served in the armed forces so I have no experience there. Originally Posted by DZEC

We got told that if some one asks us for help or thanks us we should not say "No problem" because that insults some people.
