सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Saying 'Лека работа' is almost mandatory for good manners. If you don't say it to a service worker, you might be perceived as cold or 'too Western.' Similar phrases exist in Serbian (Laka vam rad) and Macedonian, reflecting a shared regional value of acknowledging labor. In modern IT offices in Sofia, the phrase is often used ironically when someone is assigned a very easy or very boring task. In villages, this phrase is often followed by 'Да ти спори!', which is a more traditional blessing for productivity.
The 'Response' Rule
If someone says 'Лека работа' to you, the standard response is 'Благодаря, подобно!' (Thanks, likewise!) or 'Мерси, и на теб!' (Thanks, and to you!).
Don't be shy
Even if your Bulgarian is limited, saying this one phrase will instantly make you more likable to locals.

Gender Check
Always keep it feminine. 'Лек работа' sounds like you're calling the work a 'light' object, not wishing someone well.
The 'Aide' Prefix
Add 'Айде' (Ayde) before it in informal settings: 'Айде, лека работа!' to sound like a true local.
