And men? Did that not increase your risk of men customers being... weird?
In my first job, men customers would so often say "thanks mate" that I started saying it back, and my (older, female) boss had to pull me aside and tell me that it's not professional or in any way normal for teen girls to address middle-aged men as "mate".
