Oh, I detest this as well. At Chik-Fil-A in the US, employees are basically required to say "my pleasure" in response to "thank you", and it comes off so artificial- maybe even culty. It's even worse when the employee in question is clearly in a bad mood or something. Either way, it kinda makes me avoid saying "thank you" at all; most of the time I'll try to come up with some other polite valediction to avoid making them say it.
