Do you respond when you make a purchase and a female cashier calls you "honey'?

[Anonymous 3]

I look at it as an affront. Thoughts please!

I think it’s a non-issue. In Canada, Newfineze women call every guy they have a conversation with “my dear”. It’s just how they talk. It implies or means nothing…

[It’sallbsParticipant]

Just ignore it, who gives a s~~~ what they call you.

meh. It’s nothing to get bent out of shape over if you ask me. I just get my stuff, give them the money, get my receipt, and move on to whatever is next on my list.

I think you’re taking it too seriously. Like the feminists do. Look, we as humans have auto-pilot responses that we say in situations. Consciously, and subconsciously. Like when people tell you to “have a good day” and stuff like that. I used to flip the script on these people and shout back in a kind of sarcastic say “hey, don’t tell me what to do!” Followed by a wink, or whatever, and it would so unexpected that their whole reality at that moment is shaken. Because nobody expects to hear a response like that. We just auto pilot back to “yeah, you too” or “thank you”.

Exactly. I don’t do chit-chat with women; it’s all meaningless drivel anyway, just a way for them to fill-in time. Women say very little worth actually listening to.

I’m no woman’s “honey”; I’ve never come across any woman with whom I’d want a relationship with or want to share my life with. I used to think that I wanted a female partner in life, but the more experience/knowledge of women that I get, the less desirable they seem to me. Women say stuff like “You just haven’t met the right girl yet”, but that’s rubbish, because AWALT; some just look better than others, that’s all.

No not at all. Not sure why I would.

In the south it is just part of the culture. Going to hear it from most women and from time to time older men. It is nothing, unless you try to make it into something.

So it’s not a common or even not-so-common figure of speech where you live? It is in many English speaking places I’ve visited.

People in various different places use various different colloquialisms every day. They’re not insulting anyone, it’s just how many people in that region speak.

Case in point; the use of “please” in Rhode Island.

A friend and I drove to Point Judith very early one morning to go out on a deep sea fishing charter. We got up early, drove a few hours, checked in, and stepped across the road for breakfast at a very busy and very noisy diner. My friend ordered and the waitress said “Please?”. My friend got this odd p~~~ed off look on his face, repeated his order again, and added the word “please” with all the sarcasm he could muster. The waitress got flustered in turn and walked off to put in our orders.

My friend turned to me and said; “Can you f~~~ing believe that? She wanted me to say please!”

“She didn’t want you to say please,” I explained. “She didn’t hear you the first time and wanted you to repeat your order. That’s what they say here instead of “pardon” or some other phrase.”

It was my friend’s turn to get embarrassed after that.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

who cares. at least it is friendly.

that’s good to know, Old Bill. I didn’t know that. I probably would have thought she was being a bitch, too.

God bless peace and freedom.

You wouldn’t be alone, Tic.

My friend wasn’t “wrong” in not knowing what I did and he wasn’t “wrong” in being p~~~ed off either.

It just goes to show how otherwise innocuous things can cause big misunderstandings.

In the south it’s called southern charm. Always reminds me of the “oracle” in the movie matrix.

When I relocated here I planned to be here temporarily for a few years. Decided to make it my forever home with water on three sides and one way in.

Anyway, had to re-tag truck and went into motor vehicle place. Met a black southern woman at the counter and she looked and spoke just like the Oracle lady. The other state was being difficult and she took it upon herself to “dial them up.” As she got shuffled from one person to another she would be put on hold. I mention that she reminds me of the oracle. She said, “ahh swettie, i get that all the time, but thank yah for the compliment.

Finally, she gets to a woman with authority to release some document that I need. The other lady was being down right hateful about procedures. The oracle kept right on baking cookies with a southern charm. Finally, the forms were released and all was good.

The oracle hung up the phone and said, “boy, she sure was salty.”

Like others have said it’s cultural. Down here the pace is slower. I refer to it as going at the pace of picking cotton in the dog days of summer.

In the end, it is their charming way. They aren’t throwing shade.

Now, hold my beer and watch this.

Peace brothers

Thank you for all your responses. Read them all so far.
I guess its really just the way I look at it. But I am no women’s ” honey”
And yes it is innocuous. Or can be.
And your right about particular areas having certain conventions of speech, but here where I live it seems we have an abundance of snarky bitches.
Tone of voice & attitude sometimes betrays their real purpose behind ” honey ” Then you would understand why I brought up the topic & called it an affront.
But again, Thank you. Enjoy your day

That’s very true, Johnny. Only you heard the tone of voice used and only you know the context. The rest of us weren’t there and can only guess.

It could have been snark, it could have been innocuous. Whatever it was it left you uneasy.

In TN, if someone doesnt hear you, they say.. Do what now?
Took a while to figure that one out.

By the time a cashier makes comment after the sale, I’m already heading for the door .. only one listening to her is my residual jet blast and wing tip vortex.

Men are much more generous and forgiving than females! Even in a F~~~ed up Gynocentric B.S world we don’t mind being talked to this way! At this point of the gender war we could be responding to this with a “This is Sexual harassment!”

Good Topic Johnny!

You must own a better Crystal ball than I
