Does anyone ever apologize anymore?

Anyone who wants to become a Canadian should have to learn this by heart. It's soooo Canadian lol

Yeah, and to think - the citizenship test asks them stupid stuff like how many provinces there are and who is the Head of State.

Just had an exchange like this today, and it's basically an everyday occurrence:
Cashier: Hi, how's your day going?
Me: Fine thanks, how are you?
Cashier: Fine, thanks. Did you find everything you were looking for here today?
Me: Yes thanks, except I couldn't find XXX.
Cashier: Oh, sorry - I'll have somebody grab it for you.
Me: Thanks.
(Clerk brings the item)
Me: Sorry - thanks.
Cashier: How would you like to pay?
Me: Debit please.
Cashier: Thanks, go ahead when you're ready.
(Hands me the debit terminal)
Me: Thanks.
Cashier: Would you like the receipt in the bag?
Me: Yes, thanks.
(Passes me the bags)
Cashier: Thanks.
Me: Thanks, good day.

Tons of "thanks", a couple "sorrys" but nobody ever did say "you're welcome".

Not judging but you go to the store every day dh and are almost as bad we go 3x a week

I hope they don't go to Australia because they'll be getting "no worries mate" more than they ever dreamed possible.

We also say " all good". You're welcome is a little too formal for our extremely laid back culture.
