Things strangers say to you that make you uncomfortable

In the States it’s exhausting. If you’re checking out the attendant will look at your credit card and call you by your first name. In fact, you have to request that companies -phone, bank, etc. Call you by your last. They all are required to spend obnoxious amounts of time asking how you are. It’s too much. It used to really feel violating. I remember deciding I would try to stay calm and request to deal with the issue at hand. In general 99% of customer service there is really invasive.

It's etiquette.  In law enforcement, they'll use your last, unless there's another party with the same last name. 

That's interesting. In the UK cashiers won't use your name, because really they just want you to get out

I did work in a call centre for a while and when we called customers by their first name. I only ever had one customer get angry with me for it.
