For some reason I guess I look real young and could pass for even 17 or 18 probably so that is probably why.

But I still find it offensive, I feel as if I don't get treated with enough respect. I also HATE it when people address me by "miss". I also find it offensive because lots of people my age are married. They are ASSUMING just by lookin at me that I am young and unmarried. And that is very offensive. I am a customer and paying for a service, and I demand to be treated with respect. I don't need someone addressing me by "young lady", it is VERY patronizing and codescending, as if they THINK they have authority over me. Well they are the ones who are SERVICING me, so I get serious PISSED off when I get talked to that way. Next time I will file a complaint. I hate to be patronized when I am a PAYING CUSTOMER, they should be servicing me, not pissing me off by patronizing me and assuming things about me.
