Calm dowwwwn, Pheebs.
Aside from being terminally cutesy-poo, totally fake, and not remotely funny, that show should be prosecuted for Crimes Against the English Language.

'No Problem'

Try enquiring at any customer service at any shop/store, I GUARANTEE you will get a 'no probs' or 'no problem'

That REALLY grips my shit, especially if it comes from a snot nosed college leaver who has spent his life watching Neighbours that spawned this horrid trend of alternative usage of the English Language

I've met the man on the street............and he's a cunt

Its actually an Australian colloquial term that dates back decades Ace

The Americans(through Business Training Courses) have been trying to beat it out of us for a good 20 years with no success

I've heard workers use it when dealing with someone who is complaining
Quite stupid and has made a customer quite irate on more than a few occasions

The reality is that most people(not just those in mundane menial jobs) don't listen properly or really think what they are saying

Maybe its because of our fast paced society in which we dwell
but I'd put forward its more the corporate culture than anything else

Used to be a time where people actually talked to one and other
but this has been reduced to hello...how are you....transaction...goodbye
No idle chit chat allowed unless its results in another sale

cheers

Guilty, officer- but when I say it, at least I really mean it.
Unless it's a problem, of course...........
