Mad props to the lad for not only having the self awareness that his role in the hierarchy likely gave you anxiety from that mistake but for also taking the time to reassure you it was ok. You don't see that every day. I love it.
- Love you
  
  I love you too.
- Luv u
Wholesome!
- Love you!
  
  Love you too!
  
  (Even though I'm not the person you replied to)
You redacted the most important part! We're dying to know, did he sign it "love you"?
Keep that client, they're a good'un.
Finally, the perfect response. I love this.
I'm smiling now.
I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog's face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.
- I worked call center years ago for a credit card company. Used to answer my phone accidentally with my intro from work.
  
  That happened to me once when I was really tired, but I always felt the "pull" to say it when starting a phone call - like trying to suppress a tic. It was so embarrassing!
  
  Imagine doing that but you work as a standup comedian or a youtuber or something.

is it wholesome that love you is so meaningless a person would auto use it with a random person???
- Very sad way of looking at this. How about, the person who said “Love you” is so willing to let love in and to give love to others that it comes naturally to them when having a friendly interaction with another person.
  
  saying I love you as a reflex is not feeling love.
- how can you be so jaded in life to turn this fun and positive story into a negative? lmao
- It definitely isn't wholesome that the concept of feeling love towards a great number of people, it even strangers, seems so foreign to you.
  
  saying I love you as a reflex is not feeling love.
- 9/10 of my phone calls are with my wife, it's a reflex to say, "I love you." before hanging up. I could definitely see myself accidentally saying it to someone else as we ended a pleasant conversation.
- They're not a random person. They're someone the sayer has a close work relationship with. They may have worked together for years, we don't know.
- Hi stranger! I love you!
  
  Jokes aside, I'm sure I can't convince you, but I'm sharing this for other readers here in case they find it interesting.
  
  Our brain is fairly complex and deals with unique, complex, but usually somewhat familiar problem patterns throughout the day. To handle this complexity efficiently, the brain tries to run on autopilot as much as possible. I think the brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in our body (either that, or the Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell).
  
  When you're stressed or on high alert, you carefully weigh every word. BUT when you're relaxed and comfortable, your brain slips into these autopilot scripts. That's when these verbal "muscle memories" can kick in.
  
  Based on this scenario, if you can slip into autopilot mode where you naturally say "I love you" to someone, chances are high you're regularly surrounded by loving relationships where this phrase is common. Your brain has basically created a shortcut for familiar social interactions.
  
  So to this OP, get rekt lol. you're actually outing yourself as someone who is NOT experiencing a lot of love in your life! Hope I'm either wrong or this changes for you in the future. CHEERS.
  
  So what gets me is the idea that saying or hearing I love you means a person is surrounded by love in a loving environment. I have known many the person who says I love you to people who they would not go out of their way to pick up if they needed a ride. I see love in the actions I take and my family takes on a a regular basis.
- I was going to say "I bet you're fun at parties", but that would require you to get invited to any, which I highly doubt happens.
