    Should be noted that, No Problem, has become common in the service and retail industries and it shouldn't be. It's their business to provide customer service, so of course it is No Problem! "Happy to be of service," would be a better response. No Problem, should be reserved for situations where someone has gone out of their way or put in extra effort, especially if the help was requested.

"No problem, happy to help!" I can't imagine anyone getting offended by this. I almost never say "you're welcome" because it sounds snobby to me. "You're welcome. You'd better be thankful because helping you was a HUGE PROBLEM and I was highly inconvenienced!!"

      @@shimmeringchimps3842 "No problem" implies that it could have been an imposition. "You're welcome" communicates that you genuinely or sincerely are glad to help or be of service. When some hear "no problem" they hear "You're lucky I even bothered." So in other words, it may sound snobby to you, but "You're welcome" actually communicates to many others what "No problem" communicates to you. It's a case of reading the room and tailoring your message to your audience.

    American here. Some others: "Sure thing!" "It was on my way" (e.g., dropping someone home or picking something up for someone). "No big thing" or "No biggie" (very informal). "That's all right" (informal, implying no great effort). "It's all good" (from younger people). "It was no trouble," or "No trouble" (like "no problem"). "You bet."

I panicked because I don’t know which note is considered important and I can’t write that fast. Solution; thank God. I got a recorder and recorded the whole thing. He said I made him look like a genius.

    In my experience, "You're welcome" is far from overused. Its shamefully underused. And like anything that is a form of proper communication, it can never go out of fashion or be "over used". Are "please" and "thank you" overused? No. Its just how human culture in the English language processes an exchange.... Yes please, no thank you, you're welcome. They are eternal and transcend fashion.

    When thanked for something I consider exhibiting proper manners or an ordinary civility, as an American I’m apt to respond with, “That’s so kind!” In doing so, I’m hoping to encourage more recognition of others’ good form, as it may then lead to more of it! 🤗

      See, I would consider that a very patronizing response. It feels dismissive of my gratitude and as if I have to reiterate, "No, you're kind! Thanks again!"
      Maybe I'm weird. But I don't like it.

    2:35: “no problem” comes from Spanish slang, essentially saying “it’s nothing”. Meaning it was no problem for the person performing the service. Where is the issue with that? Well… it’s all about the server. Whereas “you’re (very) welcome” is about keeping the emphasis on the customer.
