Sweetie and Honey

Why is that when one reaches a certain age and has white hair that all waitresses and clerks feel compelled to call their customer honey and sweetie? I have been called both today. I wonder what do they call male customers?

Don't get me wrong, they were very nice--but it grates and seems to me to be sexist when this happens.

Oh, well what is the female form of curmudgeon?
