Have you been greeted in this way, do you think it strange or do not mind. Happened now a few times.

Iāve only ever seen this on forums or maybe YouTube. I canāt recall it ever being said in person.
A woman at work said this as she breezed into the staff room. She also called people āhunā (short for honey). Just the way she was, I didnāt mindā¦

Yeah, people from zummerzet and Cornwall talk like that !
I fink itās nice!! 
Building Society and checkout operators, not people I know. Do not mind just unsure how to react.
Just smile and say hello, really, I suppose.
I thought it was only welsh people who greeted you with āHello my loveliesā.
I know itās used a lot on this forum but l hate the word, āFolksāā¦
Sorry folks, please forgive me for my utterance!! 
I cringe if anyone calls me, āHunā or āHoneyā!
Why did you tell us that?? Dāoh.

Come on darling you can do itā¦as I was struggling going up a hill joggingā¦there used to be a queue at the traffic lightsā¦so funny,
I think itās a Facebook sort of thing, isnāt it?
Iāve never heard anyone say it in real life but they say it all the time in my Facebook groups
Iām not offended to be referred to as love or lovely by the ladiesā¦ itās about context surely.
One of the girls in my local convenience shop greets me in the vernacular.
Perhaps I should report her for committing a hate crime

Yes, yes you should.
She should be adressing you as Mr Chilliboot, no more, no less.

It isnāt actually related to physics. The physics guy probably found it easier to bine a nickname rather than our formal surnames. So I was Ging on account of my ginger hair.
