I've worked in a fast food restaurant for the past few months and I've never had so many compliments in my life. It's great and all, but I feel weird with all these people calling me names like baby,sweetheart,sugar... even my coworkers call me baby sometimes. Does this happen to most females in restaurants? Or do you call girls in restaurants these names?

Hmm i think it depends on who calls me with such names. If it were elderly women calling me sweetheart then I don't think I would mind, but I don't really know coz I haven't faced this situation as of yet.
And no, I don't call people working in restaurants with such names. Here in my country we call them sister or aunt.

I would find it kind of creepy to be honest with you, whether it is a man calling a woman that or a woman calling a man, where it is complete strangers. Unless it is in an absolutely joking manner, which it is clear that it was joking but even then, you might be rather kind of pushing it. Then again, it does happen to females a lot more then men, but...its not that uncommon.
Kind of really leads to a level of familiarity that is not rather comfortable in between two strangers. At least that is just the way I really see things happening. In many cases, people might think they are not meaning any harm, but really it can come across is rather creepy and...just I don't know.
