While living in Michigan I used only an occasional yes sir/maam
Since moving to mountain regions of North Carolina, it's a show of respect and while at work I will address my clients in this manner. If they do not like it, they let me know and I have no problem not saying it.
I don't get fussy if someone calls me maam, miss or whatever. Why fuss if they are just trying to be respectful.
