In French, monsieur plus name means 'mister' and without the added name means 'sir' and is then used in much the same way as the English speakers use it. In English, adressing someone as 'sir' often means that that person is either older or higher in a hierarchy; in French, you may be adressed as 'monsieur' simply as a form of general politeness, regardless of the other person's - or your own - age or rank.
