Does the cashier make fun of you?

I would have reminded her that her job is to ring up my purchases, not criticize them. I mean seriously. Does she have dirty looks and comments for people that buy condoms and lube too? How about cookies and chips? Or toothbrushes and mouthwash? I think her manager would probably want to hear about it. Treating customers poorly leads to them not coming back, that's not what the store wants to happen.
i bought 20 boxes of 1store pregnancy test recently for a bachelorette party and the lady ringing them up looks at me, and says, you know you only need one, they work just fine. I was pretty appalled by her remark on my purchase! And just to be snarky i said "well not everybody has the same success when trying to conceive" hahahaha to which she immediately apologized and wished me luck0 -
:laugh:Err no, I've never let anyone judge my eating habits....... :glasses:
Supermarket:
one apple..BEEP..one banana..BEEP...one orange...BEEP.....you're single, yes?
Err..yeah. You can tell because of my purchases?
No..your really ugly!
:happy:
Old joke but it make me smile....0 -
Doesn't happen to me unless someone wants to be kicked in the shins.
Yes, assault is clearly called for in this situation. Good Lord.

Eh- I'd just take it as a compliment and move on.0

You should have seen the look the cashier gave me when I was checking out at Target on Tuesday night :smokin:0

Actually yes, When you have everything but meat in your basket they look at you like where's the beef! Yup especially in Oklahoma0

I'm sure that was meant literally.Doesn't happen to me unless someone wants to be kicked in the shins.

The only real question that has made me a bit annoyed was when the cashier winked at me and said
"Almost time, eh? "
It took me a second.... she was ringing up feminine supplies and thought I was pregnant. I just raised my eyebrows and stared at her with what I thought was an " Not amused " expression.0 -
Hmm no not quite.
I will say that at my grocery store the cashiers are very young and don't seem to realize how they say things at times. Usually they're just asking about a product because they see them all day.
If a cashier said that to me, I wouldn't think much of it...what do I really care? I feel like it's more of just being ignorant than being judgemental in many cases.0 -
I would simply reply "Oh god no...I'm not going to eat this, I'm going to shove it up your a**!" :bigsmile:
Otherwise, a punch to her face would be another great solution.0 -
Really?? :noway:
This seems like an odd way to toot your own horn about your good food choices.
Wait, you mean this wasn't a thread to covertly brag about the oddest crap we've bought?0 -
I did have a cashier ask me if I was hoping for a positive when I bought a pregnancy test. I was sort of noncommital about it (read: shocked she asked) then she said she thought I was. I wasn't
This has happened to me a few times when buying pregnancy tests. Or they will say "Good luck". What are they going to say if I buy some beano or laxatives "Good luck!"???.
I've never had a cashier critique what food I buy though, luckily because they would be out of a job.0 -
Wow! Never had anyone quite THAT rude or bold. The most I'd gotten was a cashier (my friend knew her, so I'll just call her the somewhat acquaintance or a friend?) who held up my hummus, looked it over with this disgusted look on her face and asked me in her loudest voice, 'Ugh! What is this? You gon eat this?!"
On the other hand, I did have this older lady approach me the other day in Walmart. I had a basket full of veggies, almond milk---the usual stuff I guess. I was trying to read through labels when she ran up to me and asked, 'So how much weight have we lost already'? Kinda freaked me out.. but I'm guessing this still wouldn't be the same as having a cashier totally just nitpick your items. Shoulda told her to take a long walk off a short cliff.0 -
I do have one pet peeve. (Only mentioning because of someone else's comment.) It's leaky meat. I don't care if you want to buy the whole store's supply of meat, that doesn't bother me. It's when a customer brings up a packet of chicken meat that isn't completely sealed and its juices are getting all over everything. I mean *everything*. There will be a puddle of raw juice on my belt, scanner, and half their food. That's just not sanitary and I can't help but make a face and do the dainty two finger pick-up. Maybe I'm being wimpy but we have plastic bags right next to the meat for this purpose.0

I once got a really weird look from a cashier at a walmart.
I was checking out with my boyfriend at the time who happened to be white.
We were on our way to a toga party that night so we had rope, white sheets, condoms and laundry detergent.
Im sure that whole scene looked pretty screwed up.0 -
she wishes she could eat that healthy!0
-
was she fat?0

Never happened to me...what part of the country to you live in? I live in California so eating clean is common.
midwest. fried food capital.
I live in the same area as you live in and I have shopped in Murphysboro and I have never had anyone say anything to me about my purchases and there are a lot of clean eaters around these parts too.
If you can, go to Carbondale and shop at the Coop on the West end of town in Murdale shopping center. They have the best food in the world.0 -
I don't get dirty looks per se but I do get the "Where's the unhealthy stuff" and "Is this really what you eat?"...No, I just spend money on stuff that's going to rot?! Pfffft.0

This is what I was thinking.

Only because I have about $30 in coupons...yeah I'm one of those.0

Never happened to me before.
I would've walked away immediately and found a manager and reported her. I mean who the hell does she think she is to judge anyone else? Oh I would have been furious!0 -

That is hilarious!
When I was a cashier, someone came up with some coffee, condoms and an enema. It took everything in me not to say "Going to have a fun night?".0 -
I can relate! I ran into my manager on a day off at the local market and after exchanging pleasantries
..she actually started rummaging thru my cart mocking me for my rabbit food!
Hehe! she even held up my delish rich green bunch of organic kale and exclaimed "you buy garden weeds! to eat?"
let alone the look of she gave me when she spied my pack of chicken hearts!
no harm no foul tho friends
the doritos and freezer pizzas with a side of cola in her cart..
show me she is just like i was..afraid of change..and not yet aware of how much more tasty eating clean can be
Dont forget "opinions are like as*holes everyones got one darlin..dont mean yours is special! "0 -
That seems really out of order. I've never had that happen to me before. I don't see why she should be judging you on what you're buying.0
-
That's why I use the automatic checkout.
This. I haven't had any bad experiences personally, but the faster I can get in and out without having a drawn out conversation with a distracted cashier, the better.0 -
I live in the UK but Hubbie worked in Atlanta for a while so we lived there. I was at my biggest (110kg) and while shopping in Walmart a woman who stocks the shelf criticised me for handling workout clothes when "look at you.....it's obvious you're not going to buy them". I was really shocked and walked off to burst into tears. Hubbie found me upset and went mad and demanded the manager.0

wow that cashier is a *****! i was a cashier at cvs, we didn't sell fruits n veggies but if anyone ever bought anything healthy or unhealthy i would never say anything mean! if i would say anything, i would say that the food they are buying tastes amazing or something, but besides that i wouldn't say anything. how horrible i would have looked at what register she was on and her name and called her manager0

I'm assuming you mean me. I buy very little meat and the kind I do buy is vacuumed sealed so there is NO need to put it in another plastic bag. (Having said that if I was purchasing leaky meat, especially poultry, I would place it in a plastic bag to avoid cross contamination.)0
