I hear "No problem" far more often.

Years ago, I had to do customer service training for a job, and one thing they said is to always say "you're welcome" instead of "no problem", because some people think "no problem" is rude. But I think it's a generational thing, and it's kind of the opposite with younger folks.

I had to do one communucation trainung where the trainer saud that saying "no problem" should not be used, because it implies there might've been a problem. I was not convinced though.

Then "your welcome" implies you might not be welcome. Seems like either both work or both are problematic, he can't have it both ways.

Agreed. Might also be because "problem" is a word with negative conotation? Idk, I don't see a problem (hah) myself
