Wait, is that the context of the comic. I thought it was like an age thing, which is pretty silly to me because where I grew up, sir/ma’am was a politeness thing and we would use it all the time in customer service. I definitely wasn’t surprised when I got called Sir when I was already old enough to drive.
Yeah, but in this case I think it has to do with age. But… I don’t know… I thought any hospitality service, even just fast food delivery, “sir” and “ma’am” is just politeness or etiquette.
Wait… This is a big deal?
As a transwoman, it is to me.
The other women in my life are fairly used to being called ma’am though, regardless of age

I guess in some places it’s not.
