Uphere there is supposed to be this “Minnesota Nice”, which is anything but. These rules are broken regularly. Manner 14 often invokes being ignored if you were not part of the person’s junior high clique. Yes, that even applies to people in their fifties.

And then I go home to the Texas Hill Country, get addressed as sir by some kid, not being cheeky, but just having a value system from another time...

Aww, you can certainly be called names down here as well as a kid. I don’t look at it as hypocritical. I just think that in Minnesota, AS here in Texas (though the yankers wouldn’t believe it), the default position is to be friendly to strangers.
