"Have a good one" and "no problem"

Post by stlouie_lipp »

If I am consuming a product that you sell, please just say "thank you", or "have a nice day" at the point of purchase. not "have a good one".

Also, when I say thank you please say "you're welcome" or "my pleasure", not "no problem". I no it's no problem...it's your Fing job to sell it too me.

I'm guilty of saying both these things :oops: .

I'm not really in the service industry, though, if that makes it any better.

It could be traced to infiltration from people south of the border who answer '"gracias," with, "de nada."

Yeah, but that's all he's requesting. I don't quite understand the "Have a good one" rant though. Do you just think that's too casual, lipp?

Yeah I do...it just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

clevername...I'm guilty of saying "no problem" too, but have made it a point of not saying it anymore. (maybe because it is a pet peeve of the managing partner at my firm that has grown on me too)

It would be funny if you are ever a judge and tell the witness to step down and he says, "no problem, have a good one."

These are among the phrases that encompass "chit-chat". I don't see the point to it either, but I say it because it's what everyone expects.

I don't say "Have a good one", but I do say "Have a good day". I don't really care if the person whom I don't know has a good day or not, I just say it because it's what's expected.

My catch phrase for those whom I actually care at all about when I depart is "Take Care". Not sure how I even picked that one up, but it's ingrained now, and it's only recently that it's happened.
