New peeve thread???

[Edwina's Secretary]

As long as I am being peeved (perhaps from not sleeping....whatever that means....) and we are talking retail....

"No problem" does NOT equal "thank you." I get very irritated when I gvie a service person my money....I say "thank you" to get the response..."no problem." D$%# straight it is not problem....it is your JOB! I want to say...."I'm sooooo glad it is not a problem for you to take my hard earned money!" Well...there are some other things I want to say....

No Problem.

That's why the thread is here!

We are trained at my work to say "My Pleasure."
It's almost natural for me to say it now, even to people when I'm out and I hold a door for them or something.


A usual response at work, for me, is "It's my pleasure, you all/you/have a great day!"

Of course, we are CONSTANTLY getting compliments for our service and customers are constantly telling us how bright we make their day. There are a few a$$es that have actually complained that we were too cheery, seriously. Well, I'm sorry you've got your head up your a$$!! I just put that up there with the same idiot that complained that we were closed on Sundays, and said that there was something we should really do about that, it is a complete inconvience to our customers.

I say "thank you" to get the response..."no problem."

Yikes!! I'd better watch out when I see you in a couple of weeks. I have to admit that I say this quite often.

Kay...perky??? My pet peeve is over-the-top perky people first thing in the morning.

I have no gripes this week. All is well in the garden, Chauncey.

Not to worry Slick! My peeve is with people to whom I am giving my hard earned money....from which their wages derive. I doubt an event of that nature will arise during your visit!

We couldbe in real trouble, Slick!! I say that a lot too!! And I know I say it to my client's. I'll have to be more careful to say "You're welcome" instead!

In my defense, I am not taking their money...merely trying to get their company's!!!
