I'm talking about the counterman saying to his colleague; "Bob, I think the Gentleman over there is next."

How about just "Bob, that man is next."

The overuse of the term has caused it to sound condescending or/or patronizing and I'm tired of it.

Rant over.
Next time shave your privates first, then when they say something, look down at your shorts and say; they must be talking about you little fella.
