Why does it bother you so? "You're welcome" is kind of a meaningless phrase. Is it just because you were taught that?

If I thank a waiter for refilling my tea glass or a checkout clerk for taking my money, No Problem isn’t a proper response to me. You just did your job, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
But I was ‘raised right’ . Good manners I suppose.

I would sure hate to live in a world where a simple pleasant courtesy is not offered and returned. I would not hair split the words, I would smell the roses.

Open a door for many women and you will find there are no roses to smell. What used to be common courtesy has become a sexist act.

Yeah, I’m careful about that these days. No more rushing forward to get the door unless I know them.
