Is it weird to call women you don't know, "Miss?"?

Seriously! What’s wrong with that? I was at a restaurant with some friends, and couldn’t get the waitress’ attention, so I said, “Excuse me, miss.”
Immediately, my friend said, “that’s creepy and people just don’t say that.”
What is wrong with being polite? I know a lot of times if you call a woman ‘ma’am’ they might say “You’re making me feel old,” so i just go with miss, especially if they’re not old. I thought using terms like miss and ma’am were very respectful and I just don’t see what’s so weird about trying to be a gentleman every once in a while.
Maybe it’s because I’m 24? What do you think?
