To think this is belittling and not ok in a workplace

Didn't get a photo but was in a cafe where several school aged looking and middle aged women were working (irrelevant really). There was also one youngish guy who looked about school age too. There was a large, typed, laminated sign with "Girls make sure you..." with something about serving the cakes on it. Someone had added a male name as an after thought in pen.

I can't decide, AIBU to think "Girls" is quite a patronising way to refer to any group of Females? I can't imagine seeing "boys" or even "Girls and boys" in that scenario.

It's not major, it doesn't really matter but I'm becoming more and more aware of these things and it annoys me a bit!

AIBU?

What are they doing when they have a male member of staff then? Or is it not even possible for a man to come and serve food at a cafe??

Yes not appropriate.
