    Sort of. I've had a couple make just small comments such as "wow you must really like fruits and veggies." Or I also get when I'm buying veggies that must not be bought all that often, such as rutabaga was the lastest "what is this, why would you want to buy this?"

    I agree -- there are a lot of people out there who don't have working 'edit' buttons. The cashier's comments say a lot about her, and absolutely nothing about the poster/customer.

    Next time just get some toilet paper, lube, batteries, condoms, thumb tacs and ask if she was planning on making any comments this time.

    Or, buy a pair of steel toed boots (provided you're shopping at someplace like WalMart) along with the healthy foods. If she asks you that again, you can say, "Yes, and I DARE you to ask me what I plan to use these boots for! I'm more than willing to demonstrate!" :angry: :devil:

    I've never had a cashier make fun of me for my food, but I had one ring up a pregnanacy test, look at my 2 kids sitting in my cart, and say "Hope it's negative" in a snotty tone.....yea, if I wasn't in such a hurry I would have reported her to the manager. As it was I told her "I think your job is to ring up my order, not comment on things that are none of your business"

    Find a new place to shop (if possible); no need to make food shopping a poor experience, it can be fun when you find new things and don't get attitude! I love shopping at Whole Foods; check them out if they are in your area! http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/

    I haven't gotten that type of negativity, but I have had several ask "Ok, so what diet are you on?". I tell them i'm NOT on a diet. It's just how I eat. I eat healthy & work our every day. Then hey hit me with a barrage of questions about what I do. LOL. Sorry that happened to you.

    No, they never comment on what I'm buying.

    Nope. The cashiers at one of our local stores are lazy and self involved. They talk incessantly about crap to customers while the line gets longer; talk to each other about work drama and otherwise waste my time. I use self checkout almost exclusively now.

    Also, I don't care what a cashier--or anyone for that matter--has to say about what's in my basket.

    I'd just make a mental note not to go to that cashier again.

    Wouldn't waste the time/energy telling on her. :huh:

    I had a cashier that handed me a computer generated coupon at the end of my transaction. It was for pads and she made the comment, " Here is you a coupon for pads if you still use those kind of things". LOL I felt like that was about as rude as it could get.

    I was at an organic produce/meat store and the cashier said "You have a lot of meat" (I purchase a lot of grass-fed organic, local beef) and proceeded to pick up each package by the tip so she didn't have to touch it. She looked grossed out. I get it, you're vegetarian but my meat isn't going to bite you. I thought that was rude.

    I thought it was a fluke but the next time I went in she did the same thing. Wasn't friendly at all to me (no small talk, no eye contact). I think because I was buying meat.

    I avoid her now and only going to the friendly cashiers who know me and make me feel like shopping there.

    I recently had a cashier tell me she thought it was illegal to eat that healthy, as I had an assortment of primarily fruits and veggies. I took it as a compliment!

    She said "You aren't really going to eat this stuff are you?"
    Next time, stare directly into her eyes, tense your neck until your head shakes a la Henry Rollins, and speak the following words:
    "You will die FAT and UNLOVED."


    Betcha a dollar she'll never do it again.

    I usually have cashiers who ask me about some of the stuff I'm buying because they're interested in purchasing it themselves

    Doesn't happen to me unless someone wants to be kicked in the shins. That's ridiculous. If they have a problem they need to keep it to themselves. Customer service is disgusting these days. You're a cashier, you scan stuff, present my total and take my money then give me change, etc. I don't need your attitude, opinion or advice. Pull your nose outta my business! Cashiers don't make small talk with me unless I start it cause apparently I'm a stone cold b!tch.

    Obviously your meat isn't fresh enough. LOL
