Fair. However, everywhere in the US the service industry, military, and general phone etiquette (which is a dying thing) demands the standard colloquial terms of respect that are “sir and ma’am”.
A previous commenter mentioned that the societal obsession with youth is a problem. I would go further and say that it is a larger problem than how people attempt to show others respect.
As a southerner, sir and ma’am are used regardless of age. My little sister has always been ma’am. Its a respect thing. People that get bent put of shape take things too seriously
