"The pleasure is mine" and "It's my pleasure" are a lot more polite, I feel.
There's a joke here regarding Chick-fil-A (a chicken fastfood place), because all of their employees have to say "My pleasure" instead of "You're welcome". I mean, it's really effective, but also kind of funny. So whenever I hear someone say "My pleasure", I say to whoever I'm with "They definitely work at Chick-fil-A".

@Loafer It's a funny episode! Thank you very much.
In Japan, similar Izakaya shop (Japanese bar) is exist.
They frequently shout "Yorokonde!!", that means "My pleasure".
