Back when I was a manager, the new people and especially drivers coming into the warehouse would call me boss.
They were always told once never to call me boss just call me by my name or call me asshole.
What if its the man in the kebab shop calling you jt?
Hmmm... I must go to the kebab shop and see for myself :D

God some people HATE being called boss, like someone almost assaulted me at my last one, just slipped out lol. Fuck contractors
I in no way see how calling someone boss would lead to a physical confrontation.
