It is an East Coast thing. A sign of respect from the owner to the customer. You are the boss because without customers the store would not be open at all.
I did have a good friend who decided to start calling me boss. That fucking pissed me off.

Champ is 100% more condescending. If you wanna get real mean, "slugger" is great.

Boss doesnt bother me. It is the same thing as "homie" in my head. I absolutely hate being called "buddy" or "pal" though, even by my good friends. I feel like it is a put down, but i know not everyone saying that always means it in that way.

i dont really see anything wrong with calling someone champ, if anything its a term of endearment. i guess if used in the wrong context or if interpreted with the wrong connotations then it could be derogatory or inflammatory though.

I get more annoyed at the people who go around saying 'bro'.. Especially when it's a total stranger..

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

I called my boss boss all the time. But one day one of my best friends and my roomate(I own the house) called me boss and handed me some rent, and I said "Don't call me boss, im not your boss."

Getting called boss is a bit of a an insult here.
I especially hate it when servers say it, I work in the industry, and know servers do it to fuck with/disrespect people.
i took my girl out once for a nice dinner, 300 before tip for two people. fucking server ruined it, kept calling me boss.
Call me boss = shitty tip.

i hate being called boss. I'm not the boss of anyone and no one is the boss of me. I also don't like being called sir and i don't call anyone sir.
edit: for awhile a year or two or 3 or 4 ago i kept saying everything was totally boss. I don't know where that came from but it stopped pretty quick.

I prefer being called your highness, but I'll take boss any day of the week.
As soon as people refer to you as being better than them, you have started your quest to power.

"Your highness" Hahahaha yes! Demand this.
What cervantes said was probably the most accurate with this scenario. see the correlation between OPs location of gas station and the people saying it.
I have lots of little convenient store type things around here and its "this one boss"? " Anything else boss?" oh "hello my friend". See. Not derogatory, and used synonymously with "my friend"
The customer=the boss . , but is you're still offended...just remember, you are the boss.
" Yeah those blueberry blunts to the left, but when you hand them to me DO IT STANDING ON YOUR FUCKING HEAD" well hey, you're the boss.
