Maybe I'm over thinking it but it sort of bothers me, not in a personal way, but because of what it says about our society.
I'm a tall(ish) white guy. I live in NYC, and I'm definitely not rich, but I have to dress up a little for work (button down shirt and slacks, occasionally with a sport coat and tie). Often during a lot of casual business interactions, like getting stuff little things the hardware store or getting coffee at a coffee cart the worker will call me “boss”. It's often a person of color, but not always by any means; it feels more like a class thing or “the customer is king” than it does a racial thing.
I don't say anything, but the implications sort of bother me, it seems like a habit of subordination that sort of infiltrating (or is already thoroughly in place) in our culture; like how the upper class is sometimes called “patron” in spanish speaking countries or calling someone “m'lord”. Maybe I'm making too much of this but I feel like this is sort of the end result of Karenism when it's allowed to run amok. Liberal Capitalism proclaims that we are all equal and free to engage in commerce to the best of our abilities but then seems to promote this reversion to aristocratic and hierarchical behavior in the name of “customer service” when people engage in commerce. I find it disconcerting.
