Honestly for me it depends on who is calling me by a nick name, what my mood is and my gut feeling about their intent. A lot of waitresses around here say honey and dear. But when I have been in some kind of negotiating (Like trying to get a refund for a damaged item) with someone in charge I will sometimes correct them. especially if it seems heated. One time a guy said "Sweetie that's just not how things work here" I said "Oh we're doing nick names now? I'll call you "jerk"
Another time a guy used the word 'honey' and it was totally patronizing. So I said: " oh good, you know math. Yes jackass, honey and sarah both have 5 letters in them, great math! How about you use the name that starts with S?"
