Well crap. I snitched on a guy once for putting a bottle of moderately expensive whisky in his jacket at a liquor store once.

A true renaissance man


A friend of mine works in a liquor store and he's always pissed that he can't intervene with shoplifters and is told "observe only; do not obstruct" but I got talking to him about it and he realized that he's only pissed at shoplifters because they're dicks to him when they do it - they shove him/customers out of the way to get out of the store, tell him to gently caress off if he asks if they're going to pay, or they break other merchandise that he then has to clean up and write incident reports for. When it comes down to it he realized that he'd be perfectly fine with a polite shoplifter:

"Excuse me sir, are you going to pay for that bottle of whiskey?"
"No sir I am not. I am going to take this without paying for it and go get drunk. Thank you for asking!"
"Oh, I see. Well have a great night!"

"Appreciate you" sounds way more respectful to be honest.

It's been almost 20 years but when I used to wait tables, there were people who would get legit mad if you said "no problem" rather than "you're welcome". I've always thought "you're welcome" sounds kind of snooty since it's used sarcastically so much.

“no problem” lets them know definitively that it’s something you don’t want to do but are forced to anyways, whereas “you’re welcome” lets them live in a world where it actually pleases you to cater to their dumbass whims

That's .... not at all how they are used in my circles.

"You're welcome" = "You just thanked me + I don't know you very well or am trying to be formal"

"No problem" = "genuinely glad to have helped you with a thing and/or you are a friend"

Yeah I think it was a generational thing because it was usually crotchety old people, who on reflection these many years later, are probably all dead in the ground.

Don't forget that people like this have gone a very long time only hearing a sarcastic "you're welcome" and have never noticed the sarcasm in it.
