Call them out
If it’s appropriate in this type of conversation to call the person out, just do so. If it’s a boss, you have to be delicate, but if it’s a cashier, barista, neighbor, coworker, or landlord, you can just say, “I don’t really appreciate your tone. Do you realize you’re talking down to me? Why do you think that would be useful?” Give them questions they clearly cannot answer.
