>> It sometimes grates when sales or customer service people call me by my first name without asking but I live with it
Right with you there. Except for the word ´sometimes´. Oh and the bit about living with it. I don't.
>>I'm careful that way at work and ask before using first names.
Absolutely. Including using rank or title in public even when I'd use their christian name in private.
I am pretty much always referred to as "Don Mark" in such circumstances. It was weird at first but it's just normal now. To my children's friends it's always "Tio".
