    Basically, ma’am and miss are used for women in general, but miss is never used to mean “older woman” and ma’am is never used to mean “young woman”

        In a business context, ma’am is fine. I don’t think a lot of women (especially younger women) love the term, but it’s not insulting or anything. It’s just a reminder of age
