Was DH being unreasonable?

DH just walked to the shop for a few bits, got to the check out and said "Morning love, crazy weather out there!" She refused to serve him because he'd called her love. For context, we're in Yorkshire where every one calls every one love, DH calls his male friends love. This will probably divide opinion on MN but I'm wondering if it served him right or whether the lady should have served him? He had to walk as we can't get the car out due to the snow and the next shop is going to be a good 40 min walk each way!

Renster, I don't think I've ever been called Treacle. I'm envious. Grin

I get 'darling' from people in my local Turkish/Mediterranean shops, 'love' from most other people and 'dear' from my newsagent, which makes me feel really old.

Had a tradesman in once who called everyone 'mate', regardless of gender. Totally non-discriminatory. Loved it.
