I vote for terms of endearment any day.  DH and I have many knick names for each other, and we have been married for 50 years.  I am not offended by hon, honey, or sweetie.  I am an elderly woman and hear those terms often, and I live in the north.  of course, more doors are held open now, etc., which is respectful to do anyway.  I think people do the best they can, and I cannot imagine getting upset about this issue.  My DH decided to pick names our GC would call us before they were born - I am Mimi and he is Opa (German for grandfather).  We thought they were fun names and less formal.  More people are doing this in our area.  

How about anybody else?

And I don't think the people such as myself bothered by being called "hun" do either.

HUH?  Makes no sense.

In my position I daily come into contact with those from the middle east. That being said being called names that translate to my dear, my darling and other endearments. Because I have long standing relationships with these clients,  I would be offending them if I took offense. 

If this is the worst thing that happens to you in a day then count your blessings.

Nor do I.

If I receive good treatment or service and happen to get called hon or dear or sweetie, I take it as a form of friendliness and move on.

 I would never, ever report an employee for something like this. I am sure the management person in question was simply pacifying an overly sensitive customer when they agreed with her.

You're "sure"?  You weren't' there - you don't know that.

And....never say "never".  ROTFLMAO

Yes, I'm sure.

It's refreshing, at least,  to know that your on-line and real life personnas appear to be exactly the same.  No faking for you!  

I try to find some positive in all things.

I was at Dairy Queen drive-thru to pick up a diet coke.  The girl at the window called me "Sweetheart" a couple of times:  once to tell me the price then once more to give me the change along with my drink..........I thought it was funny........
