Am just happy when they dont say...'Its not a problem' when I ask for something quite obvious.....I know its not a problem...its what you are supposed to be doing/selling etc. A problem is when something is very difficult or unusual.

I'm with notsogrand and baggy - as long as people say please and thank you in whatever shape it's said, then I'm happy with that.

I say thank you very much and I also say thank you so much ... I think. Like notso, I'm happy with any kind of thank you from Ta, luv, through Cheers, mate and Thanks a bunch to whatever is considered most proper by those who mind. It's the thought that counts.

I'm just pleased if anyone says thank you.....not too fussed about how it's said.
