La Baguetterie — Restaurant in England

Last Thursday I went in to my favourite lunch spot to get a baguette. I greeted one of the members of staff with a smile and said alright, girl, in my 54 year old cockney way. At the end she asked if I would not call her girl as it offended her. I said why does it. It just does, she replied (or shall I not say she?). She said you would not like it if I called you a boy.
