I heard it said to me by a barber last I think. When I hear it being said it kind of annoys me, because the person saying it thinks that it makes you feel good. But I think it's kind of deceptive. I just think to myself "we've never met before; if you want to be nice to me, you really don't have to pretend to be my friend".

If you've made a reservation then I've no issues with being referred to by my first name. It's this overly familiar mate/folks/guys that I have an issue with. It gets the meal off to a very bad start.

Aongus Von Bismarck wrote: » I hate when you go to a more causal restaurant in Ireland or the UK and the waiter/waitress calls you 'mate' or tells you to 'come this way folks'. It's far too relaxed for its own good, and I will often pull them up on it, or simply not leave a tip. Sir and Madam is the only way a waiter/waitress should refer to a customer.
