I've heard it explained that "hey" used to be more of an urgent way to get someone's attention, rather than a casual "hello" like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

"No problem" takes "You're welcome" and implies that it was of no inconvenience to you either. But I understand that older generations find it important that service workers be most humbly at their service, and adhere to a strict social etiquette just short of "Yes, m'lord" and "Shall I suck upon your dick, sir?"

"You're welcome" is more appropriate in a professional setting, but if you're getting your jimmies in a rustle over someone saying "No problem" to you instead, you're a bit of an assfuck.

If you are a service worker at a restaurant, then that is literally your job, to serve.

I love it when I order a sandwich at my local banh mi place near my office and you can see the cashier literally eye roll every customer that orders. They can't even look you in the eye...

If you want people to be happy to be serving you then demand that they are paid more.

Otherwise buy your sandwich without any delusions of grandeur and fuck off.
