Thank you. Uh huh. Thank you. Uh huh. What the gently caress does uh huh mean? Is it short for you're welcome? Am I not welcome. Do you not feel you are worth being thanked. Society is crumbling.

it means the thanks wasn't appreciated or needed, idiot. I do this sometimes when somebody needlessly says "be well" or "have a good day" and I say: "Yup" and then walk off

tbh i hate "you're welcome" almost as much. i used to work at a restaurant and obviously we'd say "thank you" to our customers. usually, they'd be normal and say "thank you" back, but sometimes it was "you're welcome" and it usually spiked my blood pressure a little. as if we should be so grateful that you graced us with your presence that we might be allowed serve you, your majesty. in conclusion, "you're welcome" is generally the worst response to "thank you."

People say "you're welcome" because they are running on autopilot & "you're welcome" is what you are taught to say in response to "thank you" when you are a little kid & learning manners. You're welcome.

You're welcome. i know, but it's not even good autopilot. "how are you?" "fine." that's okay. "you're welcome" is just tainted with condescension, at least in this autistic goon's opinion.

If I can tell someone speaks Tagalog, I'll usually say 'Salamat' and then 'Walang Anuman'. Arabic is 'Shukran' and you're welcome is 'Afwan' Ordu, Punjabi and Hindi is 'Shukriya'. You can be polite to a few billion people with just a few words. I think that's pretty cool.

I say "No problem." to being thanked. Even if it was a huge loving problem. I want my new auto response to be "You goddamn better."

I mostly say "you're welcome" when people say thanks for a thing I did, but when I am given service I like to say "no thank YOU!" Or "that was lovely, you did a great job". But sometimes "you're welcome" just kinda falls out and makes it awkward for everyone. I don't think I've ever said "uh huh" in response to "thank you".

LifeSizePotato posted:no problem I know, and they were all beaten out of me when I did call centre work. They were very definite about phrases you could and could not say. "No problem" was absolutely forbidden as the word "problem" might cause someone to think about problems, and "any time" suggested that people should call when they didn't need to. Lots of others were considered not formal enough. That call centre was weird as poo poo and hosed me up more than the years I spent doing every drug I could get my hands on. I don't do many drugs any more but I do still say "that's correct" instead of "yeah" too often for comfort.

I totally agree because I worked in the food service industry for a while, I don't think people who have nevcer held a service job would understand.

From what I've seen, often people working a cash register have been trained to thank their customers for their purchasing goods. I try to confuse them by thanking them first, for I would not be able to purchase their goods without them selling them.

Eye-contact, a smile, and a nod is more than sufficient as a response to common courtesy. You don't have to loving say anything at all. But I guess for some of you making eye-contact with strangers is traumatic or something, so you need to debate which choice of meaningless spoken platitude is better or worse than others as you stare at the floor and shuffle away. ninotoreS fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Aug 16, 2014 |
