"SHE JUST CALLED YOU HONEY": MY QUANDARY AT WAFFLE HOUSE.
- Authors
Lunceford, Brett
- Abstract
An essay is presented on rhetorical strategies used to create relationships between people. It offers the views of a cultural outsider observing waitresses at a Southern United States Waffle House restaurant, where staff often use the epithet "honey" when speaking to customers. The author describes a shift in power where the restaurant staff are in control rather than the customer and the psychological implications, sexual aspects, and relationship defining results of his being called "honey" by the waitstaff.
