I don't see any problem (ahahaha) with "No Problem".
A little tidbit:
Growing up in Canada, taking both English and French, we were taught to say, "De rien" in response to "Merci". So what we were taught was to say, "It's nothing," to "Thank You". As far as I've ever understood, that was the proper response to a thank you, indicating to the person thanking you that no thanks is actually needed, because you were more than happy to do it.
Later in life, those words affected me to the point where I am VERY uncomfortable with people thanking me for services rendered, such as playing my trumpet at funerals and Remembrance Day ceremonies. I do not play Last Post to get thanked or praised. I do it because I want to honour those who fought for our freedom. But I invariably always get thanked and I'm always saying that it was nothing, it was something I am capable of doing and want to do, that's it's the very least I can do. I don't want to say "you're welcome" because that indicates that I wanted to be thanked.
If, as many seem to think, serving is part of the job and therefore should not be "a problem", then you need to stop THANKING them, because it's their job and doesn't need thanks. They're getting paid for it.
On the other end of the coin, I'm always thanking everyone for the things they do, and I accept any and all responses in kind. I don't judge someone by how they reply to my thanks.
