Why do we say “You’re welcome” when a friend thanks us for doing him a favor, but when a salesperson thanks a customer for buying something, the customer also says, “Thank you,” instead of “You’re welcome”?

The correct answer should tell us about a difference between the salesperson-customer context and the friend-friend context that could explain why a customer says “Thank you” whereas a friend says “You’re welcome.”

This would lead us to expect customers to say “You’re welcome.”

Even if customers are free to say whatever they want, why do they say “Thank you” instead of “You’re welcome”? This answer doesn’t provide a theory.

This relates to the salesperson’s motivations for she says. But it doesn’t tell us about the customer’s.

We have no reason to think that customers would develop a habit of saying “Thank you” instead of “You’re welcome.” This doesn’t provide a theory for how customers began to say “Thank you” to salespeople.

In the salesperson-customer context (commercial transaction), the customer feels benefited, which is why they say “Thank you.” In the friend-friend favor context, the person who does the favor doesn’t necessarily feel mutual benefit. This is why he says “You’re welcome.”
