I tried to say "no problem" and "you're fine" at the same time. Came out "your problem"

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.

"You're the one that should be THANKING me!" -- that's entitlement right there. Both customer and employee should be thankful for each other

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

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."

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

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.

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.

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."
