especially in the restaurant/retail sector?

No, in a professional environment it's more appropriate to treat customers, well PROFESSIONALLY and in fact I would go out of my way and say you are quite welcome or very welcome, which implies it was a pleasure to be of service to them.
No problem seems to imply that you've interrupted them for assistance.
I don't have "a problem" with the expression, but let's face it, NO PROBLEM and YOU ARE WELCOME simply do not mean the same thing do they?

It is very casual, but acceptable in an appropriate setting. Depends on the restaurant or caliber of store. If people are dropping $100 for a meal, "you're welcome" is more appropriate. If we're talking Wendy's, then "no problem" is more expected and perfectly appropriate.

I use it after a needless apology, like if someone accidently hits my hand as we walk past and they say, "sorry", I say "no problem". I also speak French, Spanish, and very little Japanese, but it seems English is the most screwed up by far.

Yeah, that sounds fine. A little less formal, but acceptable (in my opinion). Also, "of course", "not a problem", and "sure thing" will suffice.

"sure thing" is also a popular response.
Thanks for the concert ticket.
---your welcome! (has sincerity, shows that the replier cares about the person who thanked them)
thanks for the concert ticket
--no problem! (shows that the replier has good access to what he was being thanked for)
Thanks for the concert ticket!
--sure thing (can be percieved as rude, but not meant that way.)

That's a pet peeve of mine........in the professional sense. I think it's too informal and unprofessional for a business person to say to that to their client. Whether it's your waitress, cashier, or salesperson. I prefer "You're welcome".
