Lady at a grocery store said it to me like two days ago (I'm a guy). We are in the South, though, and she said it the same way I use "my dude" and "good sir" or "ma'am".
To some it might seem over the top but, in the right context, it's just a respectful nicety
It's simply a southern lady thing. Old southern women shower you with terms of love. It's much more rare for men to do it, but it does happen. Typically neither party even think too hard about it considering how common it is.

Why would it ever be acceptable for a delivery person to call you "my love"? Thats so weird
