I tried to say "no problem" and "you're fine" at the same time. Came out "your problem"
wookiewoman67
2/2 customer is doing all of us (owner and employees) a favor by shopping at our store. Without customers we don't have jobs. So thank YOU.

Bitte!

With either 'pal', 'mate', or 'son' at the end depending on the customer.

"You're the one that should be THANKING me!" -- that's entitlement right there. Both customer and employee should be thankful for each other
greeneyesandshirt
I just pre-empt them by saying "thank you" first.

I hate it when people say Millennials are so entitled. Especially when this old fuck thinks he's entitled to a 'Thank you' - fuck this guy
MuslimTruckdriver
I just say "my pleasure" as a response...Anybody else or am I just weird?

The proper response is: “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."
27yoUGLYvirgin
Yeah.
wangtangle
Eh IMO it's kinda regional. For instance where I live it's "our reality splits into infinite shattered timeliness of madness, so no sweat"

"There was a problem?"

This person calls millennials entitled for not responding to something exactly how he wants? I have told my Gpa thank you and gotten gfys

When a first world problem is feeling "insulted" by a reply that is polite anyway.

Let's be honest, to pretend they mean drastically different things is just being an arse

When I worked in a grocery store, I used to get older customers through my line that actually thought "no problem" was offensive.
awkwardmax
Should just say: Nah worries, mate!

1/2(as someone who's kind of between the generations) I can see the older generations POV. "No problem" could sound like "Oh, so my business
2/2 could've been a problem for you somehow?" It comes off as slightly disrespectful. I still say "No problem." Mainly cuz get over yourself
SmolTenk
other party, whereas no problem at least assures you you didnt, even though the possibility existed.
And you're welcome can be interpreted as "You are damn right to thank me for this." which, too would imply you at least inconvenienced the
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
Well as a retail worker, usually the customer is fucking apologizing all over the place, so saying your welcome would sound weird, while 1
No problem actually makes sense. "Oh I'm so sorry I took you from what you were doing!" "No, it's no problem ma'am this section is big!
I used to be a bagger at a grocery store. You'd be suprised how often I got told shit like this.
ssjb234
Solution: say nothing to anyone, unless the owners decide to walk your store.

If I'm getting paid, it's no problem. If I'm not getting paid, you're welcome
AdmiralButtStuff
I like that.
shamoolie
God, who cares?
People who have been bitched at in customer service jobs by older people because they said "no problem"
That first guy. And then those next three guys.
RustyNeX
ah thats probably why i lost my job, i kept saying to customers "are you fucking sorry?!"
SirFeatherbottom
Flipping them off at the same time probably didn't help either

I used to work as a mechanic, but my dad hated how I smelled of oil every time I came home, so he'd always beat me with jumper cables.
did he say "are you fucking sorry" afterwards? did it make you wanna dress up as batman on a tuesday?

Why would a cashier thank you though, you entitled piece of shit? "Thank you for buying the shit that you wanted. I get paid either way."
peachesforme
it's more a "thank you for your business" than anything else. at least at my work. "thank you for shopping with us today!"

I find that _really_ confusing, since I was always told to thank the cashier.
i was told to thank them for shopping with us.

I say "sure thing" if I didn't want to help the person.
Get out of here you Sam's club employee.
I'm a stay at home mom :/
Lol didn't mean it in a mean way it's just that's what they drill in our heads as a reply. I still say no problem though :)
GeorgeNotTheLivestock
OR these are just common sayings that mean the same thing and we don't have to make an issue out of every little detail someone says
My brother and I have the same discussion about several expressions with my mother every other week though.

But it's Tumblr. They have to over analyze everything to the point that it makes them feel good or assures their world view.
helenfrankannekeller
I had customers once that lectured me for saying no problem. An older couple of English professors and I hated serving them after that
Thank you. I got downvoted to -22 for pointing out how inane Lucas' statement is.
spicepoet
To me it is how folks say one of the two, not which they say. At the local market got a nod and a big smile after a thank you, it fit.
davisboy42
I believe the point being made here is simply that people make too much of an issue out of it, wanting others to be "correct."
He made far more of an issue out of it than the guy complaining about cashiers.
