It’s weirder to me to say “you’re welcome”. It’s more casual to say “no problem”.
Agree. "You're welcome" is some self-serving bullshite IMO.

“No problem” doesn’t bother me NEARLY as much as “my bad” instead of “excuse me” or “I’m sorry”. A dumbass busboy knocked my 73 year old mother over and said “my bad”. I went straight down his throat with a verbal arse whooping.

I use to work at the fine dining restaurant in the Country Club of Louisiana, and I remember the GM getting on to one of the waitresses about saying "Not a problem". I don't see the big deal with it, I do not agree that it insinuates that there was a problem in every context - especially if it is in reference of having to do something out of the ordinary.

“It’s not a problem. However, if I was doing something else it would have been.”

I once worked with a guy from the NE. I used to say “I am telling you...” as a lead in to whatever I was about say. It was a common phrase at the time. One day the guy fricking exploded on me with “you ain’t telling me nothing!” Sometimes, even in English, sayings get crossed.
i do this all the time "I'm telling you, let me tell you something," etc
if im telling a good story, i'll lean forward and say "i want yall to listen to what im telling yall." It really makes people listen more attentively lol, just a good way to signal that you're getting to the meat of the story
"John, I want you to listen to what I'm telling you. The tits on this girl were THE BEST I've ever seen."

I've run across supervisors who would complain about stupid shite like that. In that instance my responses would become overly saccharine:
It was my absolute pleasure.
Anything for you and the company
I exist only to serve
If it made your day slightly better it was worth every ounce of my effort.
After a couple of weeks of that shite, "No problem" doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Sends a message of disrespect and ridicule. "No problem" sounds like what the flunky at the car wash might say.
I work in a professional office. I am the boss and I ask assistants to scan stuff for me all the time. I don't have my own scanner--I'm a professional. When I say thanks for scanning that work document for me, appropriate responses are:
Any time.
My pleasure.
Glad to help. (usually said when it's not my assistant who does the scanning)
You're welcome. (not my favorite)
All those who think the boss is out of line are TOO SENSITIVE. Geez. Ever think maybe the boss knows better than the scanner what works in that industry? I have asked my underlings to stop using phrases before. Examples:
I'm slammed.
To be honest . . . (to me, means not honest at other times)
My gut tells me . . . (means WAG to me; don't waste my time)
My advice to the scanner friend of the OP, stop using the "No problem" response and move on.

Post you boss's number so I can accident have the wrong number and end the talking transaction with a "no problem"

When I tell a story IRL.. I always say "Check this out!".. I didn't realize I did it until someone told me that when they hear me say "check this out" they know its something worth listening to..

After boss man thanked him
Since the boss “thanked him” then apparently the activity was a not a directive but an optional ask for help. Therefore “no problem” as in “this optional request was no problem for me to fulfill” is a perfectly fine response.
If the directive wasn’t really optional, then the boss made the mistake of thanking him.
