MSU employee training
My favorite is 'no problem.' This morning I took my riding mower over to the dealer.
Me: 'The starter went bad. As long as you've got it change the oil, sharpen the blade and check the belts'
Him: 'No problem.'
The term 'no problem' is a problem. It implies that the employee is thinking 'Oh no, a customer with a problem. I hate customers. I'll reassure him that I don't hate him by saying 'no problem.'

Ever notice how trigger words only trigger libtarded snowflakes?
But everything up to sticks and stones can be used on conservatives!

I've never had a problem with the term. I've never known any old people who do. However, I've noticed that when the purchase is completed and the employee tells the customer 'Thank You' most customers say 'Uh huh' instead of 'You're welcome.' I don't know when I started doing that but all my friends say they do it too.

When did everyone born after 1980 decide that "No problem" was interchangeable with "You're welcome"?

True. The only thing in reality that comes close is a wife with violent PMS.
You: 'I'm home, dear, how was your day?'
Her: 'WTF do you mean by that, you a-hole!'

The words my X used to use that would trigger me were:
"Sure" for yes.
"That's okay" for no.
"Sure" for yes.
"That's okay" for no.

This is a perfect example of a first world problem.
First world problem: the employee used the language “no problem” when responding to me disclosing the issue of which I was seeking resolution, which made me think that my feelings and concerns were not important. Yes, my issue was resolved but the manner of the words communicated to me as part of the process made me feel less important.
Third world problem: o shite they’re cutting off our heads today.

It's our policy that you should have no problem misgendering customers, but I apologize that I don't know what your problem is. The only thing I can do is continue to live my life and not worry about your desire to be offended
There, I think I've included all of their "triggers"

What about this "my pleasure" weirdness? I don't need to know about your twisted fetishes or what gets you off, just give me the damn chicken sandwich.
Now, get off my lawn, whippersnapper.

Jokes aside, I'm not a huge fan of this one either. I am not sure why, and I wouldn't ever call it out or write an article about it. Just feels half-assed or something, like I am trying to convince the person of whatever it is I asked.
