No Problem

For the life of me I can't recall that precise moment in the retail customer experience where being told "thank you" suddenly turned into, "no problem". Worse yet, "no problem" has now morphed into, "no worries".

It's an odd feeling to throw down $3.00 for a latte and then say thank you to the Starbucks employee, only to get a "no problem" or "no worries" in return. Really? Ar ya' sure it was no problem? Whew!

Thank goodness my money isn't causing problems at Starbucks. Maybe if I start paying for my coffee in Euro I'll hear a thank you.
