Southern

In the Southern parts of the US, people frequently say "M'am" or "Sir" as a matter of every day conversation. 
"Thank you, Sir" or "Yes, M'am" you'd say to the waiter or sales person or clerk or ... Anyone. It's just a matter of normal conversation. 

I was remarking to my Sir about that on the phone today and he said, "It is nice. 
It's much easier to hide natural submission in the South."  

Hmmmmm

    i am from Chicago no where near the South and have always used Sir & Ma'am as a sign of respect. it always surprises me when someone tells me not to call them Sir or Ma'am. esp bosses

      That is unusual in Chicago! In the South...everyone says it. I've gotten the - "Oh don't call me Ma'am" before...though never "don't call me Sir"....hmmmmm.
