Well it depends. If it's work and I am expected to address someone formally, I would insist on the courtesy being returned. Out of work... nah, first names.

i mix between formal and first name all the time at work, depending on whether the customer has a hard to pronounce first or surname. :think:

"MR JACKSON IS MY FATHER, M'KAY"


I work in a school so I'm used to my "formal name".

First name terms with most of my doctors, nurses etc.
I do call them doctor though, out of respect.

I donīt mind it. In fact i think it makes you feel more important.

Never been greeted formally though. (Never been in a position like that)
