My personal breaking point comes when some young idiot behind a counter calls me "boss", as in, "no problem, boss". 
I usually tell them, "I'm not your boss. But if I was your boss, I'd tell you to stop addressing customers as 'boss'. 'Sir', 'Ma'am', or even nothing at all would be preferable to 'boss', 'employee'. For chrisakes".

You know, I have a similar problem with the gym employees referring to me as "champ". "Hey champ, here's a towel" "Hey champ, if you don't mind I'm gonna rack these weights back up". "Heeeeyuh champ, how's it going there?"
