I never said y'all and just called people sir or ma'am as I saw fit. Sometimes I'd say you all or you's but that's just from my family. If I knew it was a troon I'd say nothing either way. The funny thing is there an asian pooner who I called sir because I genuinely thought it was a man and only when she reacted to that did I know it was actually a woman from her body language.Hey now, Josh, the reason I adopted "Y'all" into my everyday usage was because I had 3 different managers at 3 different jobs lecture the young men about specific persons at the job who go by they/them. I'll use "Y'all" to shuck 'n jive before I call them freaks She. I also don't need some sperg going off on me for saying "take care, guys!" as I finish ringing them out. I had a grown man once get confrontational with me in a drive-thru because he misheard "Have a good one, man" as "Have a good one, ma'am".
Y'all avoids it all
Worked retail for a long time. There would people working at different places that couldn't see well. Glasses didn't fully correct their vision, people see someone wearing glasses and just assume they can see well. They would "misgender" people all the time. Old ladies with short hair, men with long hair, kids, troons. All they can see is vague details at even a short distance. Old ladies are typically chill, men can go either way, kids the parents can get upset, and troons well...
Retail workers get so much shit already and now have to deal with in a busy environment trying to get people into lines and to open registers and be kind, saying the wrong thing to some freak and getting in trouble. Depends on your bosses really. Mine never gave a shit, store is short staffed enough as is.
