While conducting a professional email exchange with a company executive regarding lease of product, I am suddenly addressed as Honey?? WTHF???

I abhor that condescending terminology. It isn't cute. It isn't sweet. It's rude and disrespectful. For God sake, stop with all the cutsie pie pet names like we're close friends or lovers. Oh so many people are annoyed by those idiotic names and while most won't say anything, that silent disapproval can and does translate into things like lower tips, less favorable scores on a satisfaction surveys, loss of a sales,etc. I can only assume that along with respect and common sense, business etiquette is now also out of fashion too. 🤦‍♀️🙄
