Is it disrespectful to refer to elderly people as おじさん or おばあさん

When in shops/bars ecc… owned by the elderly. For example after being served, could I just thank them and add おじいさん/おばあさん?

I’m no Chinese student, but what I noticed is that the Chinese tend to use these terms when talking to the elderly and I was wondering if Japanese people would do the same. (Please correct me if I’m wrong)
