For 'sir' most common word is 'okyaku-sama' or less politely but still formal 'okyaku-san'. It has wide meaning in English such as 'guest/patron/customer/visitor/etc'. But it is used in a sense that the one being referred to as 'okyaku-san' is visiting, hanging around, stopping by or using a place, and the one in charge of that place, be it a cashier, shop owner, guard or the like, refers to him/her as 'okyaku-san'. If you are just seeing someone in the street and calling them 'sir' it is different, in Japanese depending on their age, gender and social status, fitting words of certain formality/respect are used as vocative. Most commonly 'onii-san' for younger males and 'oji-san' for older males.
You can say 'Konnichiwa okyaku-san' if you are greeting them in general or saying 'hello/good day/etc' as in receiving or meeting someone. If you are saying good-bye then you should say 'Sayounara' instead of 'konnichiwa'.
