It's not super-common where I live for people to call people by offhand endearments like that, but - how do I put this? - it's not entirely uncommon among a certain generation? People my age don't do it, but people my Dad's age and older might.

This one time, I was at a barbecue and chatting to a man of about the right age and he called me 'love' or something like that, you know, completely offhand, and then he caught himself and asked if that was alright. I said it was (because I don't care either way), and this somehow prompted him to go on a rant about some local politician who objected to him calling her 'darl' or w/e. I was just standing there thinking, 'Christ, mate, I don't care! If a woman doesn't want you to call her things like that, then don't! Suck it up and deal! And no great surprise that a woman who's on the job in a public position doesn't want people using endearments like that on her, either!'

That bloke was a wanker, and the woman who went off at you was also a wanker. Wankers all over.
