How do you respond when a guy calls you “sweetheart” etc?
I started at a new job at a restaurant and my boss often comments on my appearance and calls me names. He says things like I’m “deliciously delicate“ like the dessert he designed and calls me by “sweetheart“, “doll”, “darling“ instead of my actual name. I feel odd about it because he is so much older than me and it doesn’t seem professional. I want to say something but don’t know when or how and I don’t want to offend him because I don’t think he is trying to be problematic or anything. I feel weak not saying anything and wrong as I try to figure it out. I’m trying to think of the best way to do it so figured I’d come here to try and understand how others would go about this. Sorry for dumping this problem here, I just don’t know where else to go because my friends say that I could lose my job if I get it wrong.
