I got called "sir" from the front the other day at the Einstein Bros. Bagel shop! The guy behind the counter glanced up quickly and said "May I have yur order, sir?" When I started talking, he looked back up & immediately apologized over & over & over...
I can see how it would happen- I've got really short hair, about 5'6", and have wide shoulders. It took me a couple of minutes to convince him that I really didn't care and that he didn't have to find a manager to give me my food for free
