I was watching a video from two years ago about different social norms and this showed up. Found someone questioning the same eight years ago on reddit (when it seemed less normalized). It feels so weird not being aware of this shift, even as a foreigner.

    ive worked customer service for a few years now and I don’t really ever say “you’re welcome.” I dunno why but I just say “have a nice day/evening/night”

      My typical response was always to well-wish. “Take care” “Have a nice evening” “Happy Friday” Whatever.

      I’m exactly the same. I also used to use a generic “have a good one” because I didn’t know what time it was during my evening shift. I did have a person make a minor scene once, saying he hated when people said that because he didn’t know what “one” was in reference to, though.
