There's "the look" again

in Chit-Chat
So once in every while I buy myself a whole basket full of sweets. Chips, candy, chocolate, Ice cream and anything else I want. And then the cashier says: "Omg! Are you gonna eat all that??" And then I say yes..... and she goes: "OMG your gonna get as fat as an elephant!" And then I smile and say: "I eat on this for 2-3 weeks. It's called moderation."

And then she looks at me as if crazy and she almost dropped my damned cupcakes in horror! Does anyone else get reactions like this? :laugh:

    Sometimes I buy a large amount of sweets at one time. I have been asked if it was all for me or for a party, but when I say they are just for me they usually think I have had a bad day or that it must take me a long time to finish them. When I was bigger they thought I ate them all in one day.

    Nope. Serious. Unfortunately. It was actually embarrassing because she said it so loud everyone could hear it.

    I cannot buy that much sweets because my brain will think we are having a binge and that could be dangerous LOL!

    Occasionally i might buy the 3 sweet packs £1 but that is not very often. (My downfall is marshmallows and cola fizzy wands) :noway:

    So when you bring your sweets up to the cashier does she give you "the look" ?

    The title of your thread and your OP sounds like she does this every time. Have you complained to management cause that's rude?

    Never happened to me but I have never purchased that many "treats" at one time.

    I get comments when I buy large amounts of anything- sweets, produce, orange juice (I was hosting brunch; it was a lot of orange juice).

    In my area, cashiers are primarily teenagers without tact or adults trying to make small talk without thinking about how nosey they're being.

    I always get weird looks at Walmart when I walk in wearing a ski mask and buy my weekly allotment of duct tape, zip ties, plastic bags, gloves, a shovel, and a chef's knife. People can be so damn judgmental.

    Perhaps it would help to also remember pants. :bigsmile:

    Her customer service skills could use some work. That was an incredibly rude thing to say. I usually use self-checkout so that I don't have to deal with anyone. There is usually less of a line, too.

    No, but once I was buying pull ups for my son and the cashier said "Those are huge! Kids shouldn't still be wearing pull ups when they're that big" and I said "They do when they are permanently disabled." Shut her right the heck up. I hate nosy cashiers.

    I get that look when I buy a lot of booze. More often than not the checkout person will either ask me if I'm having a party or tell me to go straight home. :ohwell:

    I purchased 10 pounds of carrots. The clerk said " what, are you feeding horses"? I looked straight at her and said

    Yes, as a matter of fact I have TWO.

    Shut her up right away.
