Being called a 'Guy'

I have noticed recently when out with a male friend waiters (in several establishments) ask "What can I get you guys".
We are both in our 80s and it seems comical to be classed as Guys. When with a female friend it's usually Ladies, which is fine. What's wrong with just asking "what can I get you" with a smile?
Oh dear, now I sound like a grumpy old woman!

Fortunately we do not all have to bow to the great god Google’s superior knowledge!

My very lovely future daughter-in-law addressed my husband and I as "you guys" in a WhatsApp message.
She can call me whatever she likes 🥰

My daughter did this and I told her that I am not a guy.

“They can call me whatever they like, as long as they call me”
