I've just been called "love" by the woman serving me in the bakers. I returned the compliment. The World kept turning.

Its a term of endearment in most cases...to some people its part of their everyday conversation....just like the word 'Hen' up North. Personally I never use it in that terminology but many do.
It can be used in a demeaning way....by people who think they are clever and always think they are right...and thats the tell-tale sign
