First post on JLSE. Sorry if this doesn't belong here...

Sometimes on the train platforms in Tokyo or on Japanese television, I hear a
phrase that sounds like "kekk-sema-wa." I'm still early in my Japanese studies
and am having a hard time breaking it down to figure out what it means. Can
someone help?

question
meaning listening
"Kekkosema wa"?
Maybe you're hearing (お)[客様]{きゃくさま}は [(o)kyaku-sama wa]. 客 means "customer"
and お and 様 you might already know as being honorifics.
