As a form of address. "Hey, people" is ... well, nearly abrasive. (Envision a waitron walking up to a mixed table of 10.)
Sure, in that limited context. In such a circumstance, I believe the phrase "ladies and gentlem[ae]n" is usually adequate and equally gender neutral. Yes, cause Hooters waitresses are gonna use that phrasing all day long. :-)
