Is it normal for a man to call me mam if i'm not old?
I'm 24, I was at a store and the guy at the register said have a good day MAM. Does that mean he thought I was old? I'm 24.. he looked the same age as me

Dear millenials, stop being offended by people addressing you by sirname or sir or ma'am. It is considered polite and part of good manners. People can't magically know your name without meeting you or you introducing yourself. I have a similar post if anyone is interested in viewing.

The part of England where I'm originally from everyone calls everyone "Love" or "Lovie". It transcends age, gender and rank. Unless you're speaking to the Queen, of course. That would just be rude.
It's hilarious to me when someone from out of town comes to my home town and starts getting offended when the shop keeper calls them love. They complain to the manager and the manager says "Hiya love, what seems to be the problem?". And then they ask a police officer for directions on the way home and he says "have a nice day love". Gives me a chuckle
