That’s a good point. I don’t like being called “ma’am”. Always call a woman “Miss”. We love that.

Interesting cultural difference:

In spanish speaking cultures, where “miss” is equivalent to “senorita”, and “ma’am” to “senora”, you DO NOT DARE call a woman past a certain age “senorita”. Doing so implies she is a prostitute.
