Awesome post. Exaaaaaaaaaactly!...I totally agree. Awesome post. Exaaaaaaaaaactly!<br /><br />On a related (sort of) note, I'm dismayed by the apparent demise of "You're welcome" as the appropriate response to "Thank you." All too often, one gets a "No Problem."<br /><br />It's tempting to identify the origin of the conversational "No problem" to Jamaican colloquialism, amplified by a gazillion t-shirts, but I think it's adoption has much more to do with an increase of informality and a decline in service culture.<br /><br />I'm speaking more about the "No problem" you get from staff at a business: "Thank you for handing me the xxx I just paid for." <br />"No problem."<br /><br />Hold up. You just made a profit from me. Well, maybe not you, but your company, which pays you a salary and benefits, and gives you somewhere to go five days a week. I wasn't aiming to avoid creating an operational or workplace behavior problem for you. Delivery of xxx is a business you are in. If you can't stand to say something as gracious as "You're welcome," there here are some suggestions for more appropriate responses to my "Thank you":<br /><br />"We're done? We're done! Yay.. Profit! Suckaaaa!"<br />"Get out of my store quick before you change your mind"<br />"I did/did not spit in what you just bought"<br />"I'm glad I didn't screw that up. I'm on two strikes here."<br />"I hate you."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275612151911454037noreply@blogger.com
