Informality etiquette

I've just had a cold call from a company wanting to give me a quote on my public liability insurance. I was addressed using an informal abbreviation of my christian name.

I have to admit to being taken aback and pointed this out to her. I also don't like being addressed as 'mate' by shop assistants. Is this the way things are going or am i just being old fashioned?

I think sadly it is a bad sign of the times.

Just hang up on all cold callers and don't worry your pretty little head; social skills and professionalism are fast becoming things of the past.

I hate ‘ hi guys, What can I get you guys’. In restaurants
