We had a perfectly pleasant conversation.  No, it is not required to say "Have a good day, ma'am".  You can just say Have a good day.  There is no way our employer instructed him to say Ma'am.  It's not necessary at all!  Who are you to tell me what to let go?  Address people how they prefer to be addressed.  Why is that so hard for you?  Who are you to insist what to call someone else?

I'm imagining the following conversation, which seems to me of questionable pleasantness:

Building security guard: Good morning, ma'am.
You: Please don't call me ma'am. My name is Larla Smith. It's fine if you can't remember my name but you could just say have a nice day or even nothing at all.
Building security guard: It's polite to use ma'am.
You: No, it's not.

I mean, I guess that you get to speak up about whatever you want to speak up about. I sure wouldn't have picked this issue as the one to speak up about, though. Sometimes building guards tell me to have a blessed day, which bugs me because I'm not religious, but I haven't said anything because they mean well and it really. doesn't. matter. It's not all about me, and they are not saying it AT me.[/quote]
