Is it Appropriate?


I had lunch at Nandos and next to my table is a group of womens believed they are office colleagues. I heard one of the women tell her friends that he has a guy friend which is around 40 yrs old. She said that this guy went to a Bonia Boutique and the Sales Assistant greeted the man "How may I help u Uncle". After giving a synical/mad look at this SA, the guy walked out of the boutique.

Then I start to think, is it appropriate to call your client/customer uncle/aunty just based on thier appearance. Can't they use words like sir/madam which is more polite? Yes I know that the SA is just being nice but some people just don't like to be call with that kind of specific word...hrmmm

Just a thought..
