I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    And so can you’re welcome. So why does it matter which phrase if both can be misconstrued?

    Language matters everywhere, who mentioned anything about an office building?

    And the only issue is you taking offense, there’s plenty of people who have no issues with no problem, but take offense from you’re welcome. Why is everything about you….?

      I’m not taking offense, I’m just trying to help y’all understand why using the term “no problem “ versus “you’re welcome”, in a hospitality setting, is wrong. If you fail to understand why, that’s your problem.

            Quite frankly, I couldn’t give a flying fuck concerning your opinion on whether or not using the phrase ‘no problem’ within the context of hospitality services is correct or not. I was just making a silly joke

            But judging by how everyone else is responding to you, I’m pretty confident in saying almost everyone here also couldn’t give a flying fuck about your opinion.

              I’m sorry if I gave anyone the impression that I gave a fuck what these zoomers and young millennials thought of my opinion, they’ve already proven they are socially inept.

                Hey, just in case it helps, the thing you’re doing (replying to every single comment with basically the same response and insulting people by calling them “socially inept”) is why people think you give a flying fuck 🤗

                  I don’t really understand your logic. Am I not suppose to response to replies aimed at me? Am I not supposed to point out the fact that the reason they can’t grasp this, is because they’re socially inept?

                  I don’t really get how either of those things points to me giving a flying f**k about what a bunch of strangers have to say.

                    they’re socially inept

                    My brother in Christ, just check your comment history on this post alone before you go accusing other people of being socially inept.
