I would use “sweetie-pie” for the dames and I would use “buddy-boy” for the guys. I’ve never done that before, but I may make it a habit.

I stopped going to a business for less.
That is the wonderful thing about capitalism. There is always another choice where to spend your money.

I would use sweetie-pie for the dames and I would use buddy-boy for the guys.
Here in the south I am regularly called sweetie by lady cashiers of all ages (occasionally waitresses, too). Even in northern Illinois, I was sometimes called "honey". My wife isn't offended and I find it generally charming.

>>Thanks for being a pal.
Terrance and Phillip already got this one:
Pal? I’m not your pal, buddy.
I’m not your buddy, guy.
I’m not your guy, friend!
I’m not your friend, pal!

How about I call them all “infidel”? i imagine they would be okay with that.
To: lowbridge
Goes both ways. Don’t call me “hun”. I’m an American, not a German.

“Hey You!” would seem to be ok, too.
Interesting cafe name:
“Powderhorn” —> rugged pioneers eking out a living on the cold, lonesome prairie fighting off bloodthirsty savages.
“May Day” —> Communist collective singing The Internationale with raised fists.
Which is it?

Here’s a suggestion to replace them;

Refer to them as you would a working animal.
