Over the weekend I had a fast food employee apologize to me profusely for a mistake and call me “sir”.

I went online and complimented him for his excellent customer service.

OMW! I thought “identity wheels” was a typo. Turns out it’s this:

Yeah, I don’t care about all the PC gender crap, but the “No problem!” phrase has ALWAYS struck me as rude.

How about “screw you”? Is that still okay?

As a former taxpayer of the State of Michigan, I can tell you it’s worse than that.

Except for the concerns about “misgendering” and “triggering” most of these suggestions make a lot of sense to me. And I have never liked “no problem.”

A communications course I took said that
you shouldn’t say, “You’re all set,” to
a customer you just served. I still don’t
understand that.

I've been called many things, but cheery sure ain't one of them. LOL
