There's "the look" again

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.

Not sure if serious, or making up story in an attempt at interesting thread....

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:

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.

^^^ thank you for this..... I needed a laugh :laugh:

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.

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:

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.

Nope. I rarely buy sweets and only if i fancy them there and then. That's usually a single portion chocolate bar. And I use self service tills.

I don't buy sweets either don't like them, but how annoying!

I do also get a look when I buy a bunch of baking supplies. I bake a ton of cookies at Christmas and I have a day with my niece that we bake all day. I have gotten a look then. You would think with flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, chocolate chips and other assorted things they could figure out I am not going home to eat a 5lb bag of sugar.

I do freelance customer service training for businesses, and at one point I had a really rude/nosy cashier, and I asked for the manager and gave a short 5-minute lesson on the value of customer service, the line between friendly/professional and obnoxious and understanding the function of a cashier's role in a business. I offered my services and left my card with the manager.

I don't know if word got around, or if they took a still from the video cameras to post my picture, but whenever I go back to that store, my service is fantastic!

My husband frequently buys 50 or so chocolate bars at a time for club fund raiser.

He is not very slim looking.

I asked him if he ever gets any "looks" - he said, No, never.
