Uhmm, 'sup?

I think this will help.

Kun(君【くん】?)is used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. Although kunis generally used for boys, that is not a hard rule. For example, in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status.

Chan(ちゃん?)is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. Thus, using chanwith a superior's name would be condescending and rude. In general, chanis used for babies, young children, and teenage girls. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, or any youthful woman.

Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the childish affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan.
 
So since you work here, and I run the place, I would be able to call you Kamiya-kun, as would Sammy, Akita, and Peachy since they are senior staff?
Well, Peachy is not staff, but still...
And someone filling in for me does not give them a separate status, AND you would never call me "-kun" since I am the owner. Also, my P.Plaza name is not applicable here.
 
No, I would be Shacho-san because I am not your colleague, but your boss. I would be more likely to label you -san than -kun, since my relationship with you is none too close, despite you being my junior.
I could also be labeled Sensei, but I don't like that.
