Seriously, try addressing people in that southern manner in a northern or western workforce environment or anywhere else and see how they will respond by thinking you're some sort of pushover, or else you will be thought of as the company's submissive bitch.
Outside of the south it is sort of queer to speak in that manner. You will come off looking like a servant or butler from archaic times.

I disagree with this. Maybe this is just your experience or your viewpoint on the matter, which is cool. I work in the north east quite often and have never had this picture you are painting unfold at all.

I've worked in the northeast and the Midwest. Also a brief stint in Alaska. You're being ignorant. That a not the case at all unless someone the person is just a "beta" to begin with.
Fwiw, I know a Vice President of an international company from Chicago and a CEO of an international company from Boston who say "yes sir" to everyone.
And nobody with actual money is looking at someone as a "servant" for saying sir... We have those types of people in the south as well, though. We call them $80k millionaires. Anyone who thinks that way are just pretentious.

Good thing I live in the south then.

Sounds like you're just a dick with an agenda. Sir.
