12PM She's Just Trying to Avoid Tipping

Waitress: Can I help you, ma'am?
Middle-aged woman: You shouldn't call women 'ma'am.'
Waitress: Oh... Why not?
Middle-aged woman: Because 'ma'am' is short for 'madame,' which is a name for a woman who owns a brothel. Do you know what a brothel is?
Waitress: Ah, yes.
Middle-aged: Good. Besides, for young women you should call them 'miss.'
Waitress: Okay, can I help you, miss?
Middle-aged woman: Don't call me 'miss.'
