Should be noted that, No Problem, has become common in the service and retail industries and it shouldn't be. It's their business to provide customer service, so of course it is No Problem! "Happy to be of service," would be a better response. No Problem, should be reserved for situations where someone has gone out of their way or put in extra effort, especially if the help was requested.
American here. Some others: "Sure thing!" "It was on my way" (e.g., dropping someone home or picking something up for someone). "No big thing" or "No biggie" (very informal). "That's all right" (informal, implying no great effort). "It's all good" (from younger people). "It was no trouble," or "No trouble" (like "no problem"). "You bet." "'Tweren't nothin'" (Southern dialect). "You got it" (very informal). I adore your program, Lucy. Thank you for all you've taught me (or "learned me" in Southern dialect).
American here btw! Awesome answer! I was going to post “sure thing” because I use that one a lot. I’m sure there’s more depending on location… but you pretty much covered everything I could think of and probably more!
As a Brit, if I hear "sure thing" it makes me want to vom! :) That said, I say "no biggie" almost as an ironic use of language as I prefer more formal English. In the home, between family members etc we always just say "pleasure darling" or "my pleasure".
@Anna Nowak Chick fil A kinda ruined “my pleasure” for me. I love their chicken, but I’ve always been unnerved by their army of clean cut, aggressively polite teenagers. The fact that they have done such an effective job of coaching those kids to stick to the script no matter what always makes me feel I’m buying lunch from a bunch of cultists.
Hi beautiful miss Anna Nowak wow you are sweet like fruit. fruit not as sweet as you but my heart can't fool me my heart cannot lie to me my body can I lie to me my lips I cannot say the word only you are the most beautiful woman in my heart more and more i love you
Precisely, that is the implication. I don't think it became common until this century, and by now I am accustomed to it. Then there is the equally awful use of "your welcome" in written discourse by subliterates.
The best time to use "You're welcome" is clearly when someone *doesn't* say thank you. You: *Holds door open* Person: *walks through and ignores you* You: "You're welcome"
I like to use “you’re welcome” because it acknowledges an exchange. I was taught not to say “no problem” because it is dismissive of the exchange. Saying “you’re welcome” is a generous way to accept thanks.
I think the same. Why not to use: "You're welcome? Better to use these ordinary phrases that everybody understands! There are not only English native speakers that speak English; there are more non native English speakers then native English speakers. So go away with these videos like: "Don't say..... (Let native English speakers use them!)
@taeminsus What icky energy? A cheerful "yeah, no problem!" lets the thanker know that helping them was not an imposition and that they shouldn't worry about having inconvenienced the helper. "No problem, happy to help!" I can't imagine anyone getting offended by this. I almost never say "you're welcome" because it sounds snobby to me. "You're welcome. You'd better be thankful because helping you was a HUGE PROBLEM and I was highly inconvenienced!!"
@@shimmeringchimps3842 "No problem" implies that it could have been an imposition. "You're welcome" communicates that you genuinely or sincerely are glad to help or be of service. When some hear "no problem" they hear "You're lucky I even bothered." So in other words, it may sound snobby to you, but "You're welcome" actually communicates to many others what "No problem" communicates to you. It's a case of reading the room and tailoring your message to your audience.
The problem is that people on the internet wanna tell you what and what not to say. Reminds me when I was attending *kindergarten* Mario. Don't do this! Don't do that. This way is the right way. No, this way is more suitable. You know, I clicked the link in search for substance, but in stead I got pulled over by the cops. This is bad.
I really dislike “no problem”. It’s used often by wait people in restaurants, I would love to say “well it is your job, so it shouldn’t be a problem”! But I’m polite so I keep my mouth shut.
*"You're Welcome"* *"No Problem"* *"No Thank YOU"* *"The pleasure is mines"* *"My Pleasure"* *"Pleasure"* *I know you'd do the same for me* *"That's Allright"* *"No Worries"* *"Don't Mention IT"* *"It was the least I could do"* *"Anytime"* *"It was nothing"* *"Much Obliged"* *"You're Most Welcome"* *"We appreciate your business"* *"I'm Happy To Help"*
“You’re very welcome” “No problem” “Thank YOU” “The pleasure is mine” “My pleasure” “I know you’d do the same for me” “That’s alright” “No worries” “Don’t mention it” “It was the least I could do” “Anytime” “Sure” “It was nothing” Formal way: “Much obliged” “You’re most welcome” “We appreciate your business/custom” “I’m happy to help”
There tends to be a definitely strong generational difference on this one. "No problem" can be tricky to maneuver properly. I think it's probably better to limit its use to personal or more informal communication.
@@marso1384 The point is that saying "no problem" all the time shows a distinct lack of imagination and the fact that you say it often makes you look very boring. You're 68?

@@audiophile... The say "you are welcome" after someone says 'thank you' and 'my pleasure' says you are a snob and never 'dont mention it' because then I will never again.
You r very welcome That's alright Dont mention it It was the least I could do Any time No worries I know you'd do same for me No problem Thank you The pleasure is mine My pleasure Pleasure You r most welcome Sure It was nothing Much oblidged I am very much obliged to you We appreciate your business I am happy to help
In my experience, "You're welcome" is far from overused. Its shamefully underused. And like anything that is a form of proper communication, it can never go out of fashion or be "over used". Are "please" and "thank you" overused? No. Its just how human culture in the English language processes an exchange.... Yes please, no thank you, you're welcome. They are eternal and transcend fashion.
It's my habit of responding, 'Of course.' It says that my helpful action is exactly how I would choose to behave every time and that I recognize your sincere gratitude.
I'm American, I do say "no problem" at times, and often "thank you" which seems strange saying but in certain situations feels appropriate....I never say "I know you'd do the same for me", mainly because I hate to get into a cycle of returning favors, so don't want to make anyone think they should feel compelled to reciprocate.
@@davidd33511 - I would never interpret it that way and it is very commonly used. I don't like it because to me it sounds somewhat insincere but not because it might be taken literally as if it could have been a problem.
@@davidd33511 You're certainly no expert on manners. If I want to express to someone a difference in opinion, I would never tell them they don't know what they're talking about, that's rude.
I was working at home depot and helped a customer , he mumbled a ' thanx ' . I said , no problem , he snaps back in a New York accent , what's my problem ?? '. I said get fukd my friend , he then left happily ...
You also say "av a nice day y'all" after every shop visit - And HONESTLY after the 5th time of hearing it us British would rather you STICK A GUN IN OUR FACES... 🤣🤣
Thanks, I think I'm going to use your example instead of "you're welcome" As a Rideshare driver, I am tired of using "You're welcome" and sometimes it just sounds wrong to me saying it.
I dislike ‘no problem’ because it implies that the person helping would normally have a problem doing the favour, or that the favour being done actually was a problem, but in this case, they’re making an exception for the person doing the thanking. Thanking someone is such an underrated thing because not everyone does it. When someone thanks me, I like to let them know that their thanks is truly appreciated.
Let me bottom line it for you...if a person is offended by the way you express gratitude then that person should get out of the business of helping people.
I must be weird. I could care less if someone says high to me, says thank you or asks me how I'm doing. In fact, I'd rather them not ask me how I'm doing because it feels like they're just asking out of habit and not because they genuinely want to know. And I get tired of saying, "I'm fine."
How about: "Of course"? - Thank you !(for helping me to pick up the pile of documents I dropped in the corridor because I was on a hurry to go to a meeting and I bumped in to you) - Of course ! It is probably more american than british.
Cause if she hadn't, she'd get the same criticism from people saying she's wrong/denouncing others for saying/ teaching "you're welcome" these kind of disclaimers are completely normal by now.
If "you're welcome" is overused, then "thank you" might be as well. I still see "you're welcome" as a proper response and will use it that way no matter what. Some people don't ever say that to begin with.
Yeah, you're welcome is the only proper response. I have to remind myself to not say no problem at work when guests thank me for something, because I'm a backwoods bumpkin and I always say that. Of course if you're at Chick-fil-A there's a completely different proper response.
Shane Etchiso, "I have to remind myself to not say no problem ..." If someone has a problem with you saying "no problem" then that is THEIR problem. "... because I'm a backwoods bumpkin." "Country boy can survive." -- Hank Williams Jr.
Mine: -You're very gracious! -Your kindness is deeply appreciated. -I appreciate your diligence. -I'm flattered by your generosity. -I pray I can return your kindness.
@@秋の色-k8w If a non-native-English speaker used them, I'd smile and be very kind in response... I would accept the sincerity. But my god - if any native-speaking friend used those words on me, I'd spit out my coffee, or give a sarcastic death-stare back :)
@@MatSmithLondon MAT SMITH! What a random surprise. It's Jon here from Warwick Rev... remember me?? 23 years or whatever after the trip to Ostrava? That is SO random
Another one is “ yeah, let me know if you need anything” DISCLAIMER* this should only be used if you have nothing else to do or actually want to help the person more
I was hoping my sweet hubby's favorite response was listed and it was. He's an IT wizard and his standard response to being thanked is just about always: "Happy to help!"
Crush: "Thank you!" Me: "Oh, that's alright. It was nothing. Don't mention it. It's the least I could do for you. Anytime. The pleasure is all mine. Thank YOU!"
I have a somewhat different take on this. It really isn't what you say (the words you use), it's the way you say it that conveys your feelings and that's what people generally respond to. The expression on your face and the tone of your voice say a lot more than your words. I don't worry that much about my vocabulary, I focus on my affect.
Exactly...not to mention if a hug is included, which is a very good thing to do in certain situations. That really shows you were happy to help someone.
I Feel You I Resonate With That In Ways. It's Not Always What People Say It's How It's Said, Sometimes You Have To Interpret What Someone Is Trying To Express. It Also Gives People A Easier Way To Communicate With You.
2:35: “no problem” comes from Spanish slang, essentially saying “it’s nothing”. Meaning it was no problem for the person performing the service. Where is the issue with that? Well… it’s all about the server. Whereas “you’re (very) welcome” is about keeping the emphasis on the customer.
This is still useful for those like myself who are rather uncomfortable saying you're welcome. Personally, when I do something for someone I feel more than glad to and being thanked is incredibly awkward.
Just here to read the comments LOL For English learners, you can also say: "All good!" (for general use) "For you always" (for friends and potential romantic interests) or "Aight, now piss off" (for your colleagues, classmates and other non-essential people in your life that you wouldn't mind not seeing again)
Here's a good one to make points with the boss. I fixed something important for him and explained how it was done, then he went to his meeting. When he came back he said "thanks, you made me look good", I said "that's my job".
Same here. Boss said to me you know how it rolls. Down hill. I was the one at bottom. I was in charge to take notes on a phone meeting that boss couldn’t attend. I panicked because I don’t know which note is considered important and I can’t write that fast. Solution; thank God. I got a recorder and recorded the whole thing. He said I made him look like a genius.
"Don't mention it" is probably the most versatile as if you help someone, but you don't want other people to know that you helped them, you can lightly grip them by the throat and say it sternly.
The response, "No problem" sounds as if something had the potential to be a problem, thus implying that the person saying Thank you should be grateful for whatever help was offered, even if the helping was a part of someone's job.
EXACTLY! The word 'problem' is negative. "No problem" is like saying, "Eh, it's ok. Helping you wasn't as much of an inconvenience as I thought it was going to be." Not a good look coming from someone in a service position.
She's saying that it's OK to say, but it gets over used.... So, she's teaching to those who want to IMPROVE their english. I've lived in California my whole life & I used to say, "you're welcome" a lot when I was younger. After awhile, it doesn't come across sincere. Today, I'll say something like, "no problem." or "for sure" or just smile.😉

@@audiophile... The say "you are welcome" after someone says 'thank you' and 'my pleasure' says you are a snob and never 'dont mention it' because then I will never again.
Yes and I always say you’re welcome after someone says thank you.
If the sentiment is genuine then it shouldn't matter. You're welcome.
In Australia you can say "no worries!" in any situation.
You r very welcome
That's alright
Dont mention it
It was the least I could do
Any time
No worries
I know you'd do same for me
No problem
Thank you
The pleasure is mine
My pleasure
Pleasure
You r most welcome
Sure
It was nothing
Much oblidged
I am very much obliged to you
We appreciate your business
I am happy to help
I searched for this type of comment finally I got it.thank you
can i save a comment
she still forgot "not at all"
Thanks my friend! 👍
Great thanks
In my experience, "You're welcome" is far from overused. Its shamefully underused. And like anything that is a form of proper communication, it can never go out of fashion or be "over used". Are "please" and "thank you" overused? No. Its just how human culture in the English language processes an exchange.... Yes please, no thank you, you're welcome. They are eternal and transcend fashion.
Eloquently put, April :)
Agree, April.
Agreed
totally agree. Thank you.
Thank you!! My child and I say you’re welcome all the time.
It was an honor, my lord *bow. Kiss ring. Back away still bowing*
good one!
🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣
I’m gonna use this my lord
Haha
Funny girl!
It's my habit of responding, 'Of course.' It says that my helpful action is exactly how I would choose to behave every time and that I recognize your sincere gratitude.
A Person : Thank You So Much !
Me An Intellectual : Thank You Too !
The Person : For What ?
Me : For Thanking Me !
@Mr Kinshin ..That was hilarious😂😂😂😁😁
Lol this is so funny as I do use that some times too.
You made me smile, thank you
😂😂😂 why is this this funny omg
OMG.🤣🤣
I'm American, I do say "no problem" at times, and often "thank you" which seems strange saying but in certain situations feels appropriate....I never say "I know you'd do the same for me", mainly because I hate to get into a cycle of returning favors, so don't want to make anyone think they should feel compelled to reciprocate.
@@davidd33511 - I would never interpret it that way and it is very commonly used. I don't like it because to me it sounds somewhat insincere but not because it might be taken literally as if it could have been a problem.
@@davidd33511 You're certainly no expert on manners. If I want to express to someone a difference in opinion, I would never tell them they don't know what they're talking about, that's rude.
I was working at home depot and helped a customer , he mumbled a ' thanx ' .
I said , no problem , he snaps back in a New York accent , what's my problem ?? '.

*Uno Reverse Card*

Lmao yesss that's what I do
Then there will be a war of thank you..😂😂
Oh! Thank you for thanking me!
I feel so thankful right now!
Won't that lead to an endless cycle of thanks? You might be there for eternity saying thank you over and over.
Thanks, I think I'm going to use your example instead of "you're welcome" As a Rideshare driver, I am tired of using "You're welcome" and sometimes it just sounds wrong to me saying it.
I dislike ‘no problem’ because it implies that the person helping would normally have a problem doing the favour, or that the favour being done actually was a problem, but in this case, they’re making an exception for the person doing the thanking. Thanking someone is such an underrated thing because not everyone does it. When someone thanks me, I like to let them know that their thanks is truly appreciated.
Let me bottom line it for you...if a person is offended by the way you express gratitude then that person should get out of the business of helping people.
That person probably helps for the wrong reasons.
agreed, but the potentially offended person is to the one being helped in this case
Right on!
I must be weird. I could care less if someone says high to me, says thank you or asks me how I'm doing. In fact, I'd rather them not ask me how I'm doing because it feels like they're just asking out of habit and not because they genuinely want to know. And I get tired of saying, "I'm fine."

I heard one recently here in Australia, "of course, Ive got you!" 🤩
"Stop saying "You're Welcome"! Respond to Thank You properly!"
First thing she says: "It's perfectly fine to say "You're Welcome""
I would write this comment, once you already did, thank YOU!
WTF
Cause if she hadn't, she'd get the same criticism from people saying she's wrong/denouncing others for saying/ teaching "you're welcome" these kind of disclaimers are completely normal by now.
Clickbait it was called
Dude, she is suggesting some alternatives.... And it's completely up to you what to talk and how to talk...
- "Thank you for saving my life."
- " It was nothing." ;)

Then it's time to give back a giggle or smile 😂
Omg 😂
Lol
🤣
😂😂
I always go with "Yeah whatever".
If "you're welcome" is overused, then "thank you" might be as well. I still see "you're welcome" as a proper response and will use it that way no matter what. Some people don't ever say that to begin with.
Yeah, you're welcome is the only proper response. I have to remind myself to not say no problem at work when guests thank me for something, because I'm a backwoods bumpkin and I always say that.
Of course if you're at Chick-fil-A there's a completely different proper response.
If Thank can't be over used neither You're welcome be over used.
You Alexandra are very correct. Please read my comment above.
That's a point!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't care for no problem either, rubs me the wrong way!
So do I!!!
It’s not your worries. It means fulfilling your request caused me no worries.
Boomer mentality
I have a somewhat different take on this. It really isn't what you say (the words you use), it's the way you say it that conveys your feelings and that's what people generally respond to. The expression on your face and the tone of your voice say a lot more than your words. I don't worry that much about my vocabulary, I focus on my affect.
Exactly...not to mention if a hug is included, which is a very good thing to do in certain situations. That really shows you were happy to help someone.
I Feel You I Resonate With That In Ways. It's Not Always What People Say It's How It's Said, Sometimes You Have To Interpret What Someone Is Trying To Express. It Also Gives People A Easier Way To Communicate With You.
No problem makes me want to snap back. I know its not a problem, especially at a restaraunt!!
You forgot to mention the passive aggressive “YOU’RE WELCOME” When someone doesn’t thank you, when they should 😂
Grazielle Correa it’s oddly satisfying to stoop to such levels of pettiness. And at almost 30years old; it’s still enjoyable.

Right bro🙏🤗
My favourite one..
reminds me of Jade in why women kill
2:35: “no problem” comes from Spanish slang, essentially saying “it’s nothing”. Meaning it was no problem for the person performing the service. Where is the issue with that? Well… it’s all about the server. Whereas “you’re (very) welcome” is about keeping the emphasis on the customer.
"no problem"? Well I should hope it's not a problem if it's your job!
You mean Mexican slang...😂😂😂
"It was the least I could do!"
Because I always do the *least* I can do.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣
😂
THESE COMMENTS😂
Dude, I'm laughing so hard because this crossed my mind many times while saying it lol
You’re welcome is sufficient. If someone doesn’t like that, he or she wasn’t really thankful.
This is still useful for those like myself who are rather uncomfortable saying you're welcome. Personally, when I do something for someone I feel more than glad to and being thanked is incredibly awkward.
I have a problem VADER! You will say what I tell you to say. Haha
You belong to me!
I am completely satisfied with ‘you’re welcome’
It isn't about someone not liking it, it's about adding some variety to your language usage.
“Thank you!!!”
Me: “Yeah whatever”
😂😂😂😂
Lol!
Get some respect, wanker
"I'm like, whatever"
Lol
Does anyone else say “of course?” That’s me working in a restaurant, I guess. “Thanks for the coffee!”
“Of course!”
My response will be, “You’re the first person who has ever thanked me in 40 plus years. I thought it had grown out of fashion. So, thank you.”

For English learners, you can also say:
"All good!" (for general use)
"For you always" (for friends and potential romantic interests)
or
"Aight, now piss off" (for your colleagues, classmates and other non-essential people in your life that you wouldn't mind not seeing again)

Here's a good one to make points with the boss. I fixed something important for him and explained how it was done, then he went to his meeting. When he came back he said "thanks, you made me look good", I said "that's my job".

I panicked because I don’t know which note is considered important and I can’t write that fast. Solution; thank God. I got a recorder and recorded the whole thing.

The response, "No problem" sounds as if something had the potential to be a problem, thus implying that the person saying Thank you should be grateful for whatever help was offered, even if the helping was a part of someone's job.
Interesting. My take on it has always been "If it wasn't a problem to help me, why am I bothering to thank you?" I like your view. :-)
EXACTLY! The word 'problem' is negative. "No problem" is like saying, "Eh, it's ok. Helping you wasn't as much of an inconvenience as I thought it was going to be." Not a good look coming from someone in a service position.
