I don't mind, nor care. In the great scheme of things ...

I also think that "you guys" is quite a friendly way of addressing people.

It is all inclusive and non ageist.

Actually, thinking about it, it might not be too bad in that situation. Could make you feel young and hip.

Depends how it is used. You guys and You lot can be said in a friendly and/or respectful way. If whoever says it is being friendly and has a polite manner, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

YES! Hate it with a vengeance. The young waiters in Jamie Oliver's call you guys. Even me. hmm

Is it just me or do you also dislike being referred to as guys. It's a term which has come over from America but is just being bandied about rather than being used with discretion. Whatever happened to considering appropriate terms for appropriate situations. Madam and Sir for mature clients of your business....they are not 'guys'. Guys is a term for your friends. I even heard one young male member of staff at a cinema refer to customers in a queue as 'you lot'. I was aghast....respect for people you are doing business with.
