I hate the response of "No problem" to "Thank you", especially if you are a service employee who I'm paying. I don't care if what I'm paying you for is a "problem" for you. I'm just thanking you for doing it, though, and have come to expect "You're welcome" in response.

Im actually trying you to figure out if this ever happens. Does the second person say it like "Thank YOU"
Yes.

I do it. But only because people use it first, in a retarded manner.

Bartender brings my check after serving me all night and says, "thank you." Uhm, no, thank you...

But I say it nicely, "thank YOU."

We're headed for a day when 90% of all communication will be in the form of "thank you's."

Holy shite baw, I think you're right. You see it more in a transaction based setting. But you may be on to something here.
Because the people doing the service always say thank you now.

For the record, I don't mind the "thank you" in response from a service employee. "No problem" just fricking sucks.

I don't mind it either. It's just pretty damn silly.

"Thank you," "you're welcome," has been the staple. Everyone is conditioned to it.

Telling someone you're welcome after they bust their arse for you for hours is weird.

For some reason "you're welcome" sounds pretentious, or like you were expecting a thank you. 


This is how I feel. I either say no problem or thank you if it's in a professional setting.

Why would that rustle people? I typically say "sure thing", but I also say "not a problem" a lot, too.

No Problem, is basically saying that you are welcome to request the same task again. It's the same thing, you dimwit.
