   It's too casual-you can use it with friends but it does not reflect well on a business unless it's a skateboard lifestyle store.

   Customer fits the bill best. "Customer, I'd like to tell you about our store loyalty card program..." or "Customer Smith? Your order just arrived this afternoon."

   Or British households that are living abroad where the formalities remain observed?

   My in-laws live in the States so we frequently visit them and I noticed that people in states tend to call me "ma'am". It must be a cultural thing. It used to bother me at first since I also feel...

   I'm 37, and I find "Miss" startling, especially when people can see I'm dragging two kids along with me. I'm horrified when store employees refer to women in their seventies as "this young lady".

    I'll admit, one reference I do find patronizing is when people say "my friend" e.g. how are you doing my friend?. However, I just give a stern look and go about my business...I mean I don't know you...

    Strangely, I haven't heard either in a really long time. I always seem to get called "love" by strangers now. Or the generic "Mom" by people at daycare. The generic title "Mom" secretly annoys...

    This reminds me of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where the butler Jeffrey always called Will "Master William"!

    As a cashier and as myself I always use ma'am or sir. It is out of respect and I would much rather be called ma'am myself than sweetie or hun or my least favourite dear.
