If waitresses call everyone sweety, then why hasn't this happened before? The fact that this stands out means it's not something that normally happens to me.
She's just trying to be friendly so you'll give her a bigger tip.

<edit>Heh! PJ beat me to it!
I think you have your answer. Although - it seems like this is not the answer you were looking for since you keep trying to delve deeper into the whole thing. It's really very simple.

Not every waitress calls everyone sweetie. That's not what we have been saying. We are saying that this particular waitress probably calls everyone sweetie. This is not such an uncommon thing.
What is the correct answer that you are looking for?
Heck, my eye doctor calls me "sweetie". Good god, maybe she's been hitting on me all these years. "Stare into the light, sweetie." "Don't blink, hon." How could I have possibly thought of that as anything other than blatant seduction?

Is your eye doctor a lot older than you?
I've been called sweety by older (WAY older) women and I think nothing of it. Before this waitress, the last person to call me sweety was one of my grandma's friends.
The fact that this waitress was close in age to me (and she's attractive) makes me wonder.

Recently, I went out to eat and the waitress (I'd estimate she was 21) called me sweety. I'm 20. Did she think I was younger than I actually am? Because up until then, I never heard a girl around my age call me sweety
I don't know. Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever had a waitress younger than me call me "sweetie." I know they'll call older people "sweetie," so maybe there's an age range where they'll call someone older than they are "sweetie." Maybe once they think they're a senior citizen or something.
