Deep Thoughts With CeCe: Ladies vs. Lady

Why is it that calling a singular woman a "lady" is rude, (such as "Hello Lady" or "Excuse me, Lady, may I take your drink order now?")

BUT

Calling several women "ladies" is ok? (Such as, "Hello Ladies" or "Excuse me, Ladies, may I take your drink order now?")

Mr.Fab~No, we use Ma'am too. But Ladies in the plural is used a lot.
