Does this dude have too much time on his hands?
Is he over-analyzing how waitresses talk to customers?
Is he thinking these waitresses are trying to control him, control their customers, with how they talk to men???
I read through this, but seems to be a lot of mumbo-jumbo.
I would much rather deal with a waitress calling me some term of endearment, rather than some hired help at some places who snarl and grunt at you.
“Is he over-analyzing how waitresses talk to customers?”
He is being fearsomely intelligent, academe’s version of the sand-kicking jock. Reads like a lot of mental masturbation.
Your post was exactly what I was thinking.
Some people need to get a life.
