..........and sweetie, honey, hon. That's about right for this area.
I like being called names like that. A few years ago there was a southern lady who worked at the grocery store down the road, and called all her customers names like that, and ended up getting fired for it. People actually complained about her because she was too nice and didn't liked being called sweetheart and darlin. Isn't that awful? People around here are very introverted and conservative. I hate it. I can't wait to be around people who show affection in ther mannerisms.
I've found people to be very welcoming and very friendly here. You always have to be somewhat careful as you would anywhere, but I think the majority of people here are genuinely caring and good.

Where is here?
I really don't care for it, but I don't make a scene out of it either. At least they are attempting to be courteous as opposed to having an attitude. I don't like being called 'sir'.

Most here are reasonably decent and are willing to reciprocate.

That is interesting actually. I've never thought of it that way, and never had anyone tell me they felt this way. Out of curiosity, what would you prefer to be called because I am sitting here thinking of a polite thing to say to a male customer right now without using the term sir. "Thankyou and Have a Nice Day _____? I can't think of anything else besides sir. lol. How about dude. Jk.

"Thanks Dawg!!" jk
Bolded works, also 'thank you for shopping with us' or 'thank you for shopping at _____'
Allow me to clarify; if someone addresses me as "sir" I don't make a scene out of it.
The term is often reserved for use only toward equal, one of superior rank or status, such as an educator or commanding officer, an elder (especially by a minor), or as a form of address from a merchant to a customer. Wikipedia
I prefer it to 'hey you '.I use it all the time.

If trying to capture my attention I understand, otherwise I don't see the need.
