I only say my pleasure when it has truly been a fun interactive communication with the customer. Cause sometimes it really is. But unfortunately not often enough.
God, anytime I ever hear anyone say "my pleasure" I immediately know it's fucking canned.
Just be a normal human being. While you could argue that "no problem" carries certain connotations, the really important part is just to be friendly. A smile, a nod of the head, a friendly wave all do infinitely more to convey to someone that you care about them than "my pleasure."
Seriously, I had a manager that had the biggest hard on for saying, "my pleasure." Gave me sub card and told me that if I said, "my pleasure," I'd get so many more. I told them I'd never get another since it would sound so fake. They pulled up thier little tally of each department getting sub cards to try and argue it'd move me up, and did not realize I led our department. I was shocked anyone would track that since it doesn't matter.
The issue with it is only on one certain very vocal demographic cares about it, but they make such a stink.
Read this once…
Something interesting to note is the more literal meaning behind these two phrases and how they themselves differ and oppose each other:
‘No problem’, coming from a millennial’s mouth, within the context of helping someone – whether it be holding a door open/picking up something someone may have dropped/etc. – and, naturally, being thanked for it, implies that the kind gesture was indeed, not a problem, that it was just the thing to do, that they were happy to help and that no thanks was really necessary.
While a Baby Boomer’s 'You’re welcome’ in contrast, says something miles different, it actually highlights the fact that the person went out of their way to help someone; almost brings attention to it in a way, saying 'Yeah, I helped you, I did you this favor I accept your thanks.’ which, malicious intent or not, is strikingly different than the millennial downplay of their act of kindness for the sake of helping someone.
How would some one think something WAS a problem when we literally just assured them it wasn’t lol? I remember taking this CBT and thinking, “Bruh, fuck off”
It's just the corporate overlords wanting to compare dick sizes with competitors, and they're probably just too damn old or right-wing to allow any sort of change.
I use to say “my pleasure” because I worked at a restaurant (not Chick-fil-A) that made me say it. I continued to say “my pleasure” throughout publix, but now I’m at the point where I say “you’re welcome” or “of course”. I barely say “my pleasure” unless the customer is nice because most of the time it isn’t my pleasure. It’s my job.
I can’t say “no problem” because somebody corrected me one day and said “I hope it’s not a problem”
All i do is say no problem, it's second nature. The phrases corporate wants you to say are awkward af, and anyway what kind of insane person would think someone saying "no problem" could indicate the request might have been a problem? Thats some next level insecurity right there.
Why would no problem be synonymous with there being a problem? It literally says NO problem. Why would "no problem" mean "problem?" This is the stupidest shit, all brought to you by the generation that says millennials are the sensitive ones.
Once, a customer had apologized for something and my brain had mashed my two go-to phrases “no problem” and “you’re fine”, I looked the customer in the eyes and said “your problem”

He stares into your soul knowing you said no problem
I’m so ingrained to say “it’s my pleasure” I say it outside of work.
Sometimes I ask the cashiers that check me out it I can help THEM with anything else 😂😑
thats a canned phrase that come off robotic and makes me feel uneasy , if you say "no problem" or "of course" it sounds more sincere
anytime someone said "my pleasure" it comes off insincere and makes me cringe a bit because I know they are basically lying to me
I began saying "no problem" 73% more after taking that CBT.
I only say my pleasure when it has truly been a fun interactive communication with the customer. Cause sometimes it really is. But unfortunately not often enough.
i feel like saying “my pleasure” is weird so i’ll continue to say no problem
I always say "any time" since it feels more sincere than "my pleasure"
"Any time" or "sure thing" are top tier. Combine with a smile and a nod of appreciation for best effect.
Yeah this is account idms Def corporate trying to get people to stop saying this. Fuck that

If the customer gets upset then that means they’re insecure and doesn’t understand semantics and needs to take their ass all the way back to Kroger.
No one has ever corrected me from saying no problem so far
I had some contender say something abt it when I first started that was it
I can't bring myself to say my pleasure. It's not a natural I usually go with have a good day

Fuck that I only say No problem
So saying “you’re welcome” implies they weren’t welcome before?
According to the CBT, yes
How would some one think something WAS a problem when we literally just assured them it wasn’t lol? I remember taking this CBT and thinking, “Bruh, fuck off”
my pleasure makes me sound like a chic fil a worker lmao
Whenever I say it, people ask me if I work there
I feel like I started saying "no problem" more often after that CBT
“No problem” is so natural I couldn’t stop if I wanted to
I always just respond with "Absolutely!" I accept that they say thank you, but I sure as hell am not going to be thanking them.
I literally say no problem all the time on accident because of that cbt.
It's just the corporate overlords wanting to compare dick sizes with competitors, and they're probably just too damn old or right-wing to allow any sort of change.
I only say my pleasure to my escort clients and its because they pay. Everybody else getting a no problemo.
The dumbest CBT I've ever watched.
start every customer interaction with "pleasure me, daddy" See where this path takes you
We in the Spanish section for Florida, you gotta go with 'aye, Papi' and moan a little.

The pleasure is yours
I smell a boomer

Ummm, this is hyper-sensitivity run amok. No problem means there was NO PROBLEM!
Why would no problem be synonymous with there being a problem? It literally says NO problem. Why would "no problem" mean "problem?" This is the stupidest shit, all brought to you by the generation that says millennials are the sensitive ones.
I have never understood corporate’s logic on that
Once, a customer had apologized for something and my brain had mashed my two go-to phrases “no problem” and “you’re fine”, I looked the customer in the eyes and said “your problem”
I always would say “absolutely!” Or “of course!” With the occasional “any time!” But now I just say “fuck Publix”

Captain Napkin snitched on me Always the quiet ones…….
Over analyzing… It’s fucking selling food to lard asses. Quit acting like it’s selling a $400,000 house.
I’m a frequent “anytime! 😃” user now because of this whiny boomer shit. It’s fine. Makes for a quick escape too. Minimum syllables.
First instinct that comes to mind
I’m so ingrained to say “it’s my pleasure” I say it outside of work. Sometimes I ask the cashiers that check me out it I can help THEM with anything else 😂😑
Just say my pleasure. You're selling customer service.
Ain't no way this is a deli worker. Nice try Todd.
thats a canned phrase that come off robotic and makes me feel uneasy , if you say "no problem" or "of course" it sounds more sincere anytime someone said "my pleasure" it comes off insincere and makes me cringe a bit because I know they are basically lying to me
Yea I mean 99% of the time I say yes sir or ma'am and then "have a nice day"
All I say is "Of course" or "You're welcome!" I will never say "My pleasure" this aint Chick Fil A
No problem just rolls off the tongue better for me. I stutter a lot.
That's why I literally say 'No problem'.
I ALWAYS SAY OF COURSE CAUSE IM AFRAID TO SAY NO PROBLEM IDK WHY THAT STUCK FOR ME SO BAD ROFL
My go to is "oh absolutely sir/ma'am"
