What do you think about a waitress who calls her customers "hun".

[rafterman]

As in "Can I get you another beer hun?" "Ready for your bill hun?"

Ha ha ha....this is not a biker bar but a new blue collar type restaurant and lounge in an industrial commercial area.

Gal looks like a biker chick though. Art up and down both arms on display with a sleeveless shirt and nice set of D's with just just enough exposed cleavage to draw the eye.

I just played along and complemented her tats even though she had a big rock on her ring finger. Made some idle chit chat as she ran off my bill from the computer and told her I'd be back...ha ha ha.

Seemed fitting in the circumstances. At least I'm not a "dear" yet.

well if her name is darlin you are ok

 

[Moraff]

Wouldn't bother me.

 

[CapitalGuy]

Just say "thanks doll" and all will be fine.

 

[Cobster]

Are you hoping to from one of us to tell you "go get her tiger!".
Who cares, hun is harmless, why make a post about it?

 

[The Bandit]

Remember, being nice...means better tips.

What!?

Not a cold, distancing North American with a sense of customer consideration and slight professional affection?

Christ in Diapers! What is the world coming to?!!??!

Seems highly inappropriate. The serving class should not condescend to their betters. I hope you told her manager about her shocking breach of etiquette so that he could dock her a ha'penny from her day's wage!

 

[TeasePlease]

Same with industry girls. Hun, babes, sweetie, etc.

I find it mildly annoying and rather condescending.

 

[BigBlueBobby]

I prefer a casual "hun" to an uncomfortable "sir" any day.

As a server I personally hate when I hear others (typically female) use 'hun' with customers. IMHO, it's a term of endearment and somewhat patronizing (i.e. too casual or just overly sucking-up). However, as per the above quote, please explain 'betters' to me.

Perhaps it would be better if someone explained "humour/sarcasm" to you. Read it again and note the underlying tone instead of taking it as an insult.

When was the last time you (or anyone) were docked a ha'penny?

It's better than being called "kids" by a waitress who was young enough to be our daughter.

 

[benito]

I prefer a waitress to call me Mr. Big Dick.

 

[Greekstar]

I usually reply to such informality with either "snookums" or "babycakes"

 

[torontochris]

D'S? who cares what she calls you......

Slut!!

No big deal how they address, except maybe for Pops, but i've never had a waitress call me that.

 

[Ref]

I find older ladies (55 +) tend to use "Hun" in the workplace.

I hate it when guys use the word "Hun"...Makes me want to bash their skull in with a baseball bat.

I don't give a shit one way or another. Best table service goes unnoticed. If there's something that draws attention to the service, then they haven't done their job properly.
