What happened to the reply "You're Welcome" when I say "Thank You"
For instance...asking a waiter for another napkin... He brings it, I say "Thank You"
He says " No Problem" No problem??? Why would it have been a problem?
Rented a car after all paper work done and I get the keys, I say "Thank You Very Much"
and they reply "No Problem"
Really miss hearing..."You're welcome" "My pleasure" etc.
Thank for listening

not sure, but this may have come from a corruption of Spanish "de nada" which is a polite implication that I would do much more for you but what I did was so small it was nothing.
enter "no problema", to English, No problem..
