My responses are varied. Often it depends upon how I am feeling.
One time I was in the LA area with members of my car club. After visiting the Nethercutt Museum (which is a wonderful place and not only cars), we went to a restaurant for lunch, I went to the cashier to pay. She said “Yes, sir” and looked at her and said “Really?”. She was so rattled that she did my bill 3 different times. I really wanted to laugh, but I held it together.
Another time I was checking out at our local CostCo. This time it was a guy. He said “Hello, sir”. I looked at him and cleared my throat. He went into: “Oh, sorry Ma’me. Very sorry. Yes Ma’me.”. Same reaction for me!
