When I worked at Home Depot people would call me "boss" and it just didnt sound right. It was kinda like "whatd you just call me". It's more in the region of bro, dude, buddy.
Just stick with man or sir.

A friend who just made detective made me aware of this:
BOSS - A term used extensively by inmates to refer to officers working as guards (Correctional Officers), this began in the early years of penitentiaries as "Sorry son of a bitch" backwards."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

I've been called "Boss-man" a few times. Kinda caught me off guard but I didn't mind. My preferred greetings are "broseph," or "dude-man-bro" but a normal "homeskillet" is never rejected as acceptable. :pComment

I worked in a grocery store at the young age of 16. I get along with all of our customers and can bag the hell out of their groceries. One particular day, though not very different from any other shift, things got real for me. A customer approaches the checker and I happily greet him with the typical (at least for me) "What's up big guy?" Well, unbeknownst to be, the gentleman was quite offended by this and told our general manager at the time. I was verbally disciplined and I may have even been written up.

I'd rather be called boss than bro. A quick "We're not brothers" typically puts a stop to any subsequent use.Comment
