I agree 100% with this comment! There is nothing worse than being called M'am.
I don't mind being called hon but I suppose it depends on both my mood and who it is that is saying it. Normally I don't mind "endearments" from strangers but I think I would get my hackles up if I were called babe or sweetie by someone I didn't know well. That implies some intimacy.
As far as first names and surnames go - I truly don't care. Sometimes it feels too stuffy to be called by my full name. The one thing I do not like is to be addressed by a sales clerk by my first name when I don't know them. That irks me.
