At least these 'endearments' are usually sincere ... I am perturbed by salespeople who are snobs~!

As long as I'm being treated in a respectful matter,  none of that 'bothers' me, life is too short imo.

I can't recall a single time I've been addressed that way.  

 

It may be a local thing ... I just don't hear that here in NYC.

Oh, please, honey, it doesn’t bother me a bit. Nor does darlin’, sugar, sweetie, etc. In the South, it’s what we do. We mean no harm by it.
