"No Problem"
 

I'd love another beer when you have time. No problem.
Do you have these in a 9? No problem. Let me check.
May I have more ketchup please? Sure, no problem
Thanks--can I have a bag? No problem.
Can you please check to see if you have a window seat? Sure, no problem.

I WOULD HOPE IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. I'M THE DAMN CUSTOMER...IT SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM. I HATE THAT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS.

What happened to ...
You got it
Let me check
Sure
You bet
Sure, let's see...

Can you tell I deal with clients all day?
Rant over.
If you don't agree with me, no problem.

I think I'm ok now. The in-laws are gone, I have the the next four days off. I'm going out to lunch tomorrow with my 3 year old, I'll be totally relaxed. When I ask if she can have milk and the server says "No problem", I'll smile and give them a 20% tip.

:D

That's what Farmer da Pooch is for, silly. :)

I agree, it drives me crazy too! We were out to eat tonight and the waiter took our order and said "Not a problem." Then he messed up our order and I asked for the correct order and he said "Not a problem". He said it 6-7 times during the evening. It should not be a problem because it is what he gets paid for. What is wrong with "Thank you" or "You are welcome"?

You're right. I sound like an old man. Farmer is my rock. She'd play fetch all day if it were up to her. What a lug!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1135909798.jpg

Terrible gas after the Godivas. Other than that, she's great.

Thanks--I thought I was alone--

The "No problem" thing is one of my pet peeves too. Drives me nuts.

There was a thread here recently referring to the over-usage of the term, "How's it going?" ARGHHHHHH, I hate that! I feel your pain with "No problem".

A local radio host had a great comeback to a caller that asked him, "How's it going??" He replied with, "Pretty good! How's it coming back?" It was a classic!!! :D

After the last thread about using these terms I caught myself saying"no problem" in response to a customer. Egads!!!! I am one of those people!!!
Great, now I have something else to be self-conscious about.

Gidiva's? as in chocolates? I thought chocolate was poison to dogs?

It even translates into Japanese
"Mon di ni"

How about this? How many times a day do you hear some kid talking to their mother or father that would at the least landed a bar of soap in your mouth.

or, when was the last time you were anywhere, asked an employee a question and the response was either, "Yes, sir" or "No, sir"

Try living in the South(anywhere in the South) for a while and then move to California, it is astounding how rude Californians have become

"EXACTLY" that response drives me crazy and how about from the HR Dept "THANKS FOR SHARING THAT" (no offense to the HR managers out there)

F--- Me

I was in Nashville over the weekend and had Christmas dinner at the Opryland Hotel. Having lived in Chicago and Los Angeles, I was struck by how polite the hotel staff was...

The party line at a Ritz Carlton is "my pleasure" but they really seem to mean it. If you ask fof directions to somewhere in the hotel from an employee, they lead you there not simply offer directions.And then when you say Thanks, they come back "My pleasure"

After 2 years living in SC, I adoted the "Yes Sir, No Sir". My son will do the same.

I worked in service oriented businesses for several years, since then I use "yes sir/mam" etc... almost exclusively. It doesn't hurt and people seem to like it.

see, but you are from Texas, and that is how they are down there

In the summer time, during our short tourist season, I put in some time at the local Visitor Information Center (which also has North America's only tidal power generating plant), I often respond "My pleasure." to our guests, mostly because its the most fun I've had in a 'working' environment.
The only time I'll say "No Problem." is when someone is suggesting the service I'm providing them is too much effort.
I love summertime.
