OBRIGADA VS OBRIGADO

Obrigado and obrigada (in Ana's response) both mean thank you or thanks, so how do we know when to use one or the other? If you're a male, you must say obrigado (just like Roberto), and a female will always say obrigada (just like Ana). Unless you momentarily forget your gender, you'll be just fine.
