I wouldn't dream of calling someone I didn't know 'hon'!! It doesn't exactly get on my nerves too much, although a woman I worked with at school who is less than 2 years older than me used that a lot-being in the same age group i felt it to be condescending, but it was her habit.
I also don't care for 'babe' or 'honey' from strangers, either. "ma'am" would be better than those!
