I may be a patron but please don't patronize me.
Does anyone like it when someone calls you a young lady or a young man? I don't mind hon, honey, sweetie or anything like that from a waitress or sir, mister, bud from a waiter.

I hate being called young lady. It's obvious that I haven't been young for a long time!
I also don't mind being called "sweetie" or "you guys", but I agree that being called "young" seems patronizing (although I'm sure the waiter is trying to be friendly).

We're just kibitzing here, no need to eat at home!
