Nothing wrong with thanking someone for the service they provide, and they should likewise thank you for your patronage. Now, if you want to step outside and I'm late getting there, start without me!

Jan 9 10 10:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Years ago I read a magazine article titled "No Problem" in which a guy described having one of those days from hell where everything went wrong and no one seemed to care. Finally he went into a haberdasher's to buy a hat, expecting the worst, but every time he made a request the server simply said "No problem" and fixed him up with just what he needed. It made his day. I feel kind of the same way. There are plenty of people who delight in making everything a problem. "No problem" is fine with me.

You bet, I would too. 'No problem' is just a common expression among younger people, and shouldn't be taken as anything other than a polite reply. But it really doesn't quite sound as nicely as 'You're welcome' or 'Thank YOU, sir.' Vintage comics, cards, and other collectibles at Vintage-Stuff.Org

The whole "No problem" thing has been around a lot longer than just recent years, though it's definitely seeing a resurgence as of late. Regardless of the intent (a polite reply), I think it comes off as smug and insincere. Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758

I smile and am polite and people act like I'm unusual for it. I've been asked by my patients what drugs I'm on. Years ago I was out with a friend at a store in Chicago, and I was enjoying both my friend's company and the store. A clerk, just passing by me, remarked sarcastically about the smile on my face as if it were a strange habit to be in.
