I feel like the first few times I was like "did I mishear that?" Dislike "ma'am" because I always feel like they're saying "man" (and also, I don't feel old enough for ma'am yet). I wish madam would come back into use.

I'm afraid the only way to hear "madam" often would be moving to England and even then, it would probably have to be a pretty posh area 🫤
