Yes sir!

Definitely. I heard a cashier tell a story where he called a customer "Buddy", that's just what he calls people. This guy threatened him and told him to never call him buddy again! Crazy! You would think people would know that they're just trying to do their job!

I find it rare and nice when people call me ma'am, or call my BF sir.

Well I've noticed that over the past 30 or so odd years, respect / common curtesy has gone all but out the window.

Being for the north east I'm used to rude people. I always find it weird traveling to places like CA or parts of the country where people start talking to you for no reason or just saying hello out of the blue.

It's kinda like culture shock coming from living in philly. Only time people on the street talk to you is when they want something from you.
