    Some people call me boss, it’s very affirming but I’m not sure why they do it. I’m a low wage worker that’s slightly weird and awkward

        This is me also. I don’t know where I picked it up from.

        My most recent job has a couple of Spanish guys that call the actual boss man “jefe” and he (the whitest guy ever) responds well to it. I think that’s fun. I don’t know if I can get away with it, though, also being one of the whitest guys ever.
