What has happened to the custom/courtesy of telling a customer THANK YOU after a purchase?

"Thank you" seems to have disappeared from the vocabulary of so many, hell most at the retail level. It's nice to hear have a nice day but saying thank you after a purchase is polite and shows the customer their spending of dollars is appreciated. and while we're at it, wtf happened to saying "you're welcome" when someone says thank you to a person. It has now become "no problem". wtf, yeah it should be a problem to do your damn job or show appreciation. Society is crumbling.

What a weird thing to melt about so early in the morning.
No problem simply means it wasn't a problem to help you. Why is that worse than "you're welcome"? I actually prefer no problem. Feels more personal to me I guess.

Entitlement! The latest belief is that the customer is being provided a service and THEY should be thankful they are allowed to buy the product.

What about when they say “no problem?”
Of course it isn’t a “problem.” It’s your job.

It’s been replaced with asking for a tip!

Most low level workers these days have disdain for the large corporate conglomerates they work for thanks to decades of marxist indoctrination

Courtesy is learned or not learned at home. It sure as hell isnt learned on social media or television .

All part of the Progressives plan to control the population by promoting Class Warfare. They have been telling the middle and lower class for the last 30 years that every one of their problems is caused by the upper middle and upper class. This results in perpetual victims who hold a grudge against anyone who they “serve.” It’s all this “pay your fair share” BS and “they didn’t build that” (Obama quote). Class Warfare is a tactic of the Socialists.

Well since I probably had to deal with all of your emotional problems while selling the product you should be thanking me.

Most minimum wage cashiers couldn't possibly give less of a shite that you've spent your dollars there. It's not like they're shareholders in the company.

at this point it's nice just to not feel like i'm inconveniencing people to be visiting their place of employment.
also, i'd like to know who trains the checkout folks at Rouses.
most of the ones at the P'ville location slam shite into the bag then slam the bag onto the counter where I have to put the bags into the cart myself.
and they will do something like put 3 2 liter bottles in a bag or put a 2 liter bottle in the same bag with a bag of chips or a loaf of bread.

If you ever walk into a Home Depot, you'll understand the feeling.

Needing a low paid retail clerk to thank you for your purchase is a bit sad.
As for “no problem” or “no worries” or “of course”, I don’t use them interchangeably with “you’re welcome”. If someone thanks me for doing something that was actually trouble for me, I’ll say “you’re welcome”. If someone thanks me for something extremely minor, like holding open a door for a few seconds, “you’re welcome” feels imperious and I’ll likely use one of the former three.
But melting because people don’t use turns of phrase exactly the way you want them to is certainly one way to go through life.
