I'm not a stuff-shirt by any measure however, I find it inappropriate and unprofessional to have a retail clerk or waitstaff address me using the above names. I'm not your Bud, Buddy, Pal, Honey, Sweety and/or Darlin'.
When doing business with me you can simply say "Hello" or "Good Morning". If you must add something to it, the only appropriate word to use is "Sir"..."Good morning sir" or, "Thank you sir."
A local party store clerk, who I do not know from a bale of hay, greets everybody with "hey Bud" and concludes with "thanks bud". A lady at the local doughnut shop starts with "help ya honey" and ends with "bye sweetie".
It may seem like a small thing however, IMHO, it crosses the line as being unprofessional.
