Most of my clothes are women's - the occasional shoe or sock or sweatshirt maybe not. Good thread.
I think it might be Mid-West. In California people do not use Sir/Ma'am much. I cannot see this incident happening where I live. Back when I lived in Texas, yeah... Sir/Ma'am all the time.
Thanks for this!
