I usually only say 'no worries' if someone accidentally bumps into me or if a customer service person apologizes for a wait.
Same.
The customer service side of me makes me say "my pleasure" to nearly every instance of "thank you".

Yeah, this is how I use it... If someone is expressing some level of "sorry about that" I'll say no worries or not a problem. I agree with brian that it's a poor substitute for You're Welcome.
I think I use all these phrases. Chalk it up to working around people from everywhere in America.
And I'll add done that I think I only say: alrighty.
Not a single person I know says that shit. To the point where my gf says it to mock me and that it's an auto response in my text messenger app for when I'm being told something.

Ace Venture... I say "Alrighty then" a lot.

Chick fil a success has made my pleasure trickle down to all kinds of fast food training manuals. Hard to get a you're welcome anymore.

You're welcome is fine. It's "not a problem" that (ironically?) is a problem.

Has saying "bandwidth" to refer to your availability (or lack thereof) become a widespread thing, or is it just where I work?
This is very ingrained in my company. I hated it at first, but got used to it.
My white hiphop loving friend used "it's been a minute" constantly, and that was 1998, so it certainly isn't new slang, but it's been a minute since I heard anyone use it.
I say "no worries" all the time if someone apologizes for something they don't need to. I'd overuse the hell out of that phrase if I went to Canada.
