Back in my retail days, I had a Karen get upset because I said "how are you guys doing tonight?" to a group that was not 100% men.

Pretty sure that's just a regional thing. I guess screw you for not being born in a "y'all" region?

I'm from not-urban Georgia and I (and most other people) say "guys" a lot too

Isn't "y'all" singular and "all y'all" plural? I've heard this but have conflicting accounts of what is true.

I remember there was some juicy drama about that posted on another social media site. Apparently, there was a group of customers dining out, all of whom were women. I think most of them were lesbians or something to that effect so some of their attires weren't exactly feminine. So, when the waitress asked something like, "Is that everything for you guys?" they absolutely flipped. I don't remember how much trouble she got into for it, but oh boy, I'm forever scared that such an innocent slip of the tongue could land me in some thick shite at work.
