We were out running errands a few days ago.
In every instance, the younger people waiting on us
responded to our "Thank you(s)" with either:
"No problem" or
"No worries"
In the car, my husband just laughed and said he was
trying to get used to the new response.
It's very petty, and it means very little, and I suppose it is just the many cases of the general evolution of our
everyday language.
I do miss "you're welcome", but who really cares?

Thank You

I do not care for either response myself and I also miss "your welcome." For me the other two sounds like they are telling you that you have not offended them for some reason as opposed to just saying a simple thank you for somehting.

I miss a friendly "you're welcome too!"
Though I'm used to the "no problem." I always feel like saying,
I didn't think it was one!🧐

Yeah, I always want to say why would it be a problem? And I wasn't going to worry.

Many many years ago when I first started hearing this I was in a retail store and made a purchase. The young woman who did the sale said very nicely "no problem" and I said nicely "I didn't think it was a problem, was it?" She looked entirely befuddled.

No Problem and No Worries = You're Welcome. It means exactly the same thing.
Just add it to the autotranslator function in your head and you will be happy again.

I hope it's okay to use because I used No problem just the other day in response to a text from my neighbor thanking me for coming to her husband's funeral. I felt it was an appropriate response because she had mentioned the day before that I shouldn't feel obligated to go.

New response? It's been around for at least 30 years. Doesn't bother me at all.

I was thinking about it and I don't think it bothers me. I tend to go more on intent than the actual words people use. Well, bad grammar is a whole 'nother thing that makes me crazy.
