If a customer comes in, and I can't tell if it's a man with long hair, a hard woman, or someone trans, I simply greet them with a: "Hello! How are you today? Can I be of service?"

On the phone, a name or the voice answering may give me a clue but that may still be misleading so I go with "Hello! I'm Scarlet Knight with ABC company. I'd like to speak to you about XYZ. Do you have time for some quick questions?"

No need for "Boss", "Dude", "Rebel" or "Jeffe"...none of which work well with women.
How does "boss" not work well with women?
