Don't Call Me Honey!

I work on the phone taking calls from seniors who are ordering products. I just stopped a customer from calling me, "Honey." I accept it from some of my customers because they mean it as a term of endearment as that was normal for them back in their day.

However, when someone tries to condescend to me and calls me honey in that tone... you know that tone.

F*ck that.

I said, "do not call me honey. My name is Meagan"

Do you know what he said?

"Oh. I have friends named Meagan" :) 

I set and enforced my boundary and he respected it. That was a healthy interaction.
