Many years ago, I was surprised the first time a cashier told me: Tah tah-tah.

I later discovered that it was the "short form" of "Thank you, goodbye"

How do you say "you're welcome"? "wah wah-wah"?

Yeah, I don't recall personally hearing those two strung together like that, but we definitely say them individually. I was surprised learning that not every English speaking country says 'ta' as a short version of 'thanks'.

This happened to me in Brisbane, as said many years ago, 1980, maybe it is (was) a regional (Queensland) thing, but definitely, while I remember perfectly the first time I heard it because it struck me, it wasn't the "only" time I experienced it.
