Something I’ve noticed recently (in the last month or two) is that when I enter a restaurant or a convenience store, the workers will say, “Welcome in”. Seems odd to me (why not just say, “Welcome”?), but it appears to be a new usage, at least around here.

“I appreciate you” when “I appreciate it” would be sufficient and appropriate enough? It’s like they’re trying way too hard but at what, I have no idea.
