CUSTOMER OR CASHIER? Installment 1: You Work Here Now

Stop Calling Me Ma’am: The Global Spread of a Backhanded Compliment

Somewhere between Texas and a call center 10,000 miles away, “ma’am” went from cowboy courtesy to a polite way of telling a woman she’s old, irrelevant, or both. How did this linguistic fossil get smuggled into the global script of customer service — and why do we just nod and accept it?
