wtf happened to saying "you're welcome" when someone says thank you to a person.
We have customer service corporate training every few years and this always comes up. If someone says Thank You the proper reply is ‘you’re welcome.’ Not no problem or you betcha. It’s a subtle thing but makes a difference

Anyone who wants a teen to thank them for spending 25 dollars is a chode and clearly seeks attention and/or respect so they must not have it.
Just get me in and out of the store.

One of my little things I liked to do when checking folks out at the pharmacy counter is “ thanks for stopping .. if you need anything , give me a call ok?”
Made the customer hopefully feel appreciated and that I would do everything in my power to assist them in tbe future

Yeah, sometimes I’ll order a few thousand dollars of material from a vendor that I’ve never used before and they’ll act like I’m ruining their day

After I scan and bag all my shite, I look at the security camera and ask for it to thank me, but it never does.

Needing a low paid retail clerk to thank you for your purchase is a bit sad.
It’s just civility. Too much to ask?
It also marks the conclusion of the transaction and that I’m now free to leave.
Thank you.

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.
This. All of this.
If a buddy asks me to hand him a beer from the cooler, and says "thanks" when I hand him one, it feels oddly stiff and awkwardly formal to say "you're welcome." I just say "sure thing" or "no problem."
Those are essentially slang versions of "you're welcome."
Language shifts and changes over time. I agree that those changes aren't always for the best, but the whole "thank you/no problem" shift is rather innocuous to me.
I can pretty much guarantee you that anyone complaining about this goes about their daily life saying/doing stuff that would've been considered rude and uncouth by past generations.
Do you smile when your picture is taken? Did you know that used to be considered uncouth and inappropriate?

No problem.
So if they say “have a nice day” but not “thank you”, is that still objectional?

Parenting...or the lack of.

Have a nice day sounds fake and I don't need to hear it. Thank you is a different thing. Thank you and you're welcome or you won't get my business again.

That sure beats a blank stare or a “mm-hmm”. It’s courteous. It’s equally hard to get a “have a nice day”, though.

That’s honestly not my experience at all. I’m sure it’s happened, but I can’t remember a time I got a blank stare and nothing else.
