I hear "No problem" far more often.

I don't say it because you are, in fact, not welcome. I finish interactions with customers, even when they say thank you to me, by saying "thank you, have a nice day", as my non fireable version of "I'll thank you to kindly fuck off now."

Time to adopt a jaunty wink, finger guns, and a hearty "You got it, sport!" as the default response. What could possibly go wrong?

There’s also my press, β€œmy pleasure,” or β€œglad I could help !” (If I mean it!)

I'll give a barely imperceptable nod in return.

Anything more than that means you have inconvenienced me and I wish you nothing but Ill will for the rest of your life.

Fifteen years ago when I was traveling around California and Nevada, I was weirded out at how sales people responded to "thank you". They either said "yup", "ok", or stayed silent. I assumed it was a regional thing.

In central and eastern Canada, we say it.

I think "you're welcome" is just too formal. I would say it to a customer, not my friend.

It's too bad Apple don't think all the thoughts I want to think for me anymore. Oh well. 8GB of RAM is all I need, and I have removed "You're welcome" from my lexicon.

I don't care.

Where I am from, saying thank you doesn't warrant a response. It's certainly something I heard when I took a trip to New York though.

My sister noticed in 1995 that Americans almost universally reply to 'thank you' with 'uh huh.'

I can't not hear it when I visit now,

i use it sarcastically in normal conversations with friends

i use it seriously when replying to my bosses in a corporate environment.
