I walked in the USPS and the clerk said "How are you today, gorgeous?"

Endearments said in a sincere manner in my opinion are always welcome. They make my day.

I do recorded calls and on several occasions, have been called - Honey, sweetheart, sweetie and darling. Usually, the person on the other end is very old. Otherwise, some of those words would just sound icky.

The one that bothers me is, "have a blessed day". I am not religious and for some reason to me that smacks of religion. I am guessing it does not bother anyone else but me but every time I hear it I think of church being forced down my throat.

First, good for you for sticking to your beliefs and telling your hubs to not buy from that guy. That kind of condescending jackhole is why a lot of people hate salespeople.
Second, my part time job is at a thrift shop, which I absolutely love. It is owned by a church, but there is no overt religious anything when you get into the store. THere's no mention of the church other than a small print on our business cards and in our marketing stuff. When I was working full time as a bartender elsewhere and was at the TS once a week, it was like a breath of fresh air. Now I have noticed that people are saying "have a blessed day" and at minimum once a week, someone tries to hand me one of those religious pamphlets. That is not appropriate in any situation but it kills me that these people are peddling this stuff to someone who is waiting on them. (I never got anything like that at the bar, but several servers said they got that either in "addition to" or in lieu of their tip.
