The man behind the counter was not trying to insult you. Women who serve me often call me "bbaby", "honey", "sweetie" or similar. They're not trying to insult me, or exert some claim on me. They're being friendly and polite. From your point of view these women are sexist man-haters.
They're not. They're just being polite, especially as members of an older generation who was raised this way.
Recasting politeness and friendliness as sexism and misogyny serves no purpose other than to encourage people to be snarky and rude in the future.
Grow up and get a thicker skin. If calling you "honey" is sexism, you've got a hell of a lot to learn about the real world, its horrors, and the challenges faced by women who are actually oppressed.
