    I have two feelings about this:

    1. This is why I call everyone “boss/captain” when I can

    2. Having lived in the US South, this wouldn’t even register for me because EVERYONE who looks 16+ gets called sir/ma’am by everyone else. Hell, I’ve seen the usage extended to kiddos to teach them universal respect through example, too.
