Needing a low paid retail clerk to thank you for your purchase is a bit sad.

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.

How weak does one have to be to feel they deserve/need a compliment like "thank you" after a purchase? Jesus Christ. I use the self check out and order tons of things online that are just delivered by mail. It never crosses my mind that I'm missing out on a "thank you". I'm interested in the item I'm purchasing, not some type of gay little affirmation.

It's called you being sad for not being fluffed by those you consider below you.

Go back and read what I posted again, as you've entirely missed my point. What I said has absolutely nothing to do with the "depth of relationship" and everything to do with the difficulty or inconvenience of a task. As I said, some people consider it to be more courteous/polite to respond with no problem/etc in certain situations than it is to say thank you. You can yell at clouds about that if you'd like, but it doesn't make you right and them wrong. Language and culture are funny that way.

More melt plus multiple misspellings/typos. Melt with a bit of extra melt on top

I do not care if they tell me thank you or go frick yourself.
They are there to get a paycheck. I am getting a product/service. If the product/service is fine, then I really do not care if they thank me for buying something. Especially at a large corporation that the employee has no loyalty to.

“ you good “ you good “ you good “. This is what I get all of the time. It’s terrible.

The checkout machines tell me thank you. I thank them back, that way if Skynet does happen, I end up in the zoo, not dead.

Be thankful if you’re not robbed and shot.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with JoshJr. I'm buying a pack of light bulbs because I need them, not because I want to be fluffed by some worker.

And for those that are curious, "you're welcome" has been the common response in English to "thank you" for about the last century. It didn't really exist before that in that context.
And in some other languages (French and Spanish immediately come to mind), "it's nothing" (de rien/de nada) is the default response to being thanked. More elaborate responses are considered very formal at best and sarcastic at worst.
But yes, it's definitely the end of polite civilization as we know it that people are responding to thank you with anything other than OP's preferred you're welcome

Probably because they're a random employee making $8/hr. They don't give a shite that you bought something or not. It's not like they're the business owner who is very grateful for all the business. The random employees are just counting down the minutes til they can go home.

wtf happened to saying "you're welcome" when someone says thank you to a person. It has now become "no problem".
You do realize these 2 phrases are completely interchangeable, right? They relay the same meaning.

shite, if I get words spoken in the English rather than an unintelligible grunt, I'm pretty ok with that, tbh.
