@SpanishObsessed Yeah... kind of... It's an attemp to say it in a funny way. Our way to say thank you, "gracias", actually means "graces" (in the sense of God's grace or God's mercy), it's a feminine plural noun. It's like saying:
A- Graces.
B- The ones you have.
I mean, B is saying like "yes, the graces you have".
So... yeah... it's a weird expression some people use to make an innocent bad joke. It's better not to use it xD

@SpanishObsessed Si alguien escucha esa respuesta por primera vez, se va a quedar sorprendido y confuso xD La primera vez que alguien me respondió "las que tú tienes" (solo me lo han dicho una vez en toda mi vida), fue un hombre que me abrió la puerta para pasar dentro de una tienda y yo le dije "gracias". Me respondió eso y yo me quedé 😐🙄🤔 ¿Que yo tengo qué? 🤨🤨🤷🏼 No lo entendí en absoluto.
Más tarde, descubrí que era un juego de palabras. No es exactamente maleducado, es simplemente una broma inocente. Si la usa alguien, suele ser gente con carácter espontáneo, sin mala intención. Es mejor no usarlo porque muchos no suelen entenderlo al principio y crea una situación confusa.
