You mean like a waitress at a restaurant or something? Yeah, it is a tad uppity.

Depends on the part of North America you are from. In the South and in many parts of the Appalachians it is normal to say both honey and sweetheart. There is no intent to demean or insult. Just like some people say Y'all, and some leave the R off the end of car, it is a regional. I believe in most cases you can tell by the tone of voice used.

Get used to it. You'll see plentry of letters with a "Dear" and "Sweetie" or 'Sweetypie' is the shortcut for "Sweetheart" which is as common as 'Honey' and 'Darling'.

Yes, and it is annoying. I am not their 'dear' or 'sweatie'. If I don't even know them, I wouldn't think of saying something like that to them. Yet, they feel it's alright.

in the south, like the Carolina's,Georgia,on down that way, its very common to greet people and it not be taken as being talked down to.
