Quite so. Como no is wonderful. As is 'no hay de que', but not often used here.
And when we say gracias, which is followed by ...'por favor....' Which I just love.
Or when being attended to at a small mini mart (not chinese) or whatever and being referred to as caballero. That's something special too.
And 'permiso'. I do chuckle at this.
We've been showing our house to a lot of people recently and if I had a penny for the amount of times I hear 'permiso'.
Argentines have an old fashioned sense of courtesy, which is sadly lacking in many other places.
As fifs2 says, here it's genuine and I embrace it.
