Charles Swindoll had this in his sermon yesterday, so I know I am in good company in my dislike of this response.
When you tell someone "thank you" these days, what's the response you're likely to get?
"No problem."
This is something that I have seen so often in the movies and on tv as well. Nobody says "you're welcome" anymore.
Chuck said, "Show some charm and say 'you're welcome'" I couldn't agree more. As a matter of fact, I was saying "YES!" to the radio--like he could hear me...
I don't think people always think about what they are saying. I think that this response is just a bad habit that has spread all over. Now that I have mentioned it you will probably notice it more and more. People tell me that they never noticed how many people say "no problem" until I pointed it out to them. I guess I should get a WORD POLICE badge.

Say "you're welcome" instead of "no problem".

I usually say, "You bet." I know I should say "Ja Sure You Betcha." Oh, Kriddi I will give You're Welcome a try.
I never here that-I always hear "sure." Now I'm going to be listening and counting.....
Thank you Kristi.
.....and spelling here and hear differently in the same sentence...
No problem. I'll work on it.
Pat, I'm wondering if you are agreeing with me, or if you are waiting to see if I'll say no problem...
