What’s your go-to phrase for sounding polite but still being a little sarcastic?

Mine is: ‘Thank you for your request. You know how much we value your opinion. We’ll give it the consideration it deserves.’

I'll deal with it momentarily.
Whether that means soon, or briefly, I leave up to their imagination.

I would suggest…
I hear what you say.
I‘m keeping track of my appointments in the digital calendar.

I’m a software developer and something I say at least 3 times a week is “what problem are we/you trying to solve?”
It often means “I don’t think you asked the right questions” or “I think you may be doing the wrong thing already”

Or "You haven't really thought this through at all, have you."
Honestly "what problem are we trying to solve" is a great re-direct, especially if they didn't start there.

“Bless your heart” in the US south can be a back-handed compliment with nuanced meanings.

Manager at a hotel:
"How about we try (blank)instead" meaning "what you are doing is absolutely wrong, stop doing it we're doing it this way"

Great. Other ideas?

No, please go right ahead. Don't let common sense or manners stop you.

“If you say so.”

“Duly noted”.
I’ve only used it a handful of times but that’s my professional way of saying “fuck you”, as I’ve only ever used it towards clients being extremely condescending and rude towards me.

I use the word ‘ambitious’ to mean that the suggestion or idea is completely unrealistic and not reasonably practicable
