older reddit post [CW: some ableism in the comments] but its hilarious how thoroughly OP was bullied. They also claimed to be a teacher who “works with mental health professionals” so they couldn’t possibly be out-of-touch :hasan-ok-dude:

      i have 100% have had customers like this. my moms southern , I dont have the accent but i regularly call strangers hun like “how ya doin hun?”. I look like a woman and we are in the south so most people of find it charming . Once some rich white women tourist called me a creep and made such a big deal about it i cried on my break. I stopped saying it for a while but i refused to let one person make me a colder less welcoming person.
