boss is one of the one's I absolutely hate, but it's also one of the one's that's not always used this way. usually there's a different intonation for when someone is saying more like "it's awkward to use an employees name this is a good stand in" and the one that may as well be "listen kid do what I goddamn said"
Lol I use boss all the time in stores and whatnot talking to employees. "How's it going, boss." "Thanks boss" etc. I picked it up as a teenager.
