My first thought was that it was wonderful and pleasant since have a magical day and welcome home has almost become insulting. One weekend of it was my pleasure and my entire family now uses it as a joke response when we take out the trash or serve dinner on the paper plates in front of the television. Instead of saying good bye on our cellphones we sign off with it was my pleasure... So it was my pleasure to read this post.

That was also a "thing" at Chick-Fil-A as of when I was still eating there. To a comical extent. You couldn't say a thing to them without getting that as part of the response.
