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….?

          Both can be wrong, if you can’t understand that, you’re an idiot.

              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.

                  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 🤗
