Does the cashier make fun of you?

Just ignore what other people say about what you eat, everyone makes their own choices about everything including their diet. If you are happy with what you are eating now and it's working for you then I don't see how a comment like that should affect you in any way.

Seriously? It should affect EVERYONE. When you are patronizing an establishment and spending your hard earned money there, they have no right to give you attitude AT ALL. You're saying that when people judge you, verbalize, and make snide remarks to you that it doesn't bother you in the slightest? You need to mass market that happy pill you're taking because I've never heard something that sounds so out of touch.

Back to the OP... I sincerely hope you spoke to the manager, either that day or called at a later time. Everyone judges, but it only becomes a problem when it's verbalized. I'm sure you know that she was way out of line... I just hope that you reacted so that hopefully she will be reprimanded and change her attitude.

Really?? :noway:

This seems like an odd way to toot your own horn about your good food choices.

Exactly what I thought when I read this.

same here.



for the most part, they will never say anything...


even if you're only getting some KY, duck tape, rope, bowie knife, ski mask, some pipe fittings, some fertilizer, and some ammo..... they still dont say anything.

I had one look at the things in my basket and then look at me up and down and say "Well someone is trying to eat healthy aren't they?!?" He also ID'd me for the beer and made a comment about the beer not helping. It was the first 6 pack I had purchased in two months and wouldn't you know someone had something to say about it!

He was an old man so I let it slide.

At first glance, I thought is said "He was an old man, so I let him die" :laugh:

Yeah I normally get dirty looks, like "as fat as she is, is she seriously going to eat those fruits and vegetables"
Yes it sucks, but I have learned to ignore it because I feel like what I'm doing is important to me!

I for one do not really care if people are rude to me or judge me,they can have at it. if im in the mood I will give it right back to them but usally I dont really even pay attention

I think generally that's a good attitude. I've always liked the saying, "Other people's opinions about me are none of my business." However, when I'm paying for goods and services and I get an extra helping of snotty attitude through no fault of my own, then yeah they get to deal with a reaction. Sometimes is a bad tip. Sometimes it's a complaint to the management. Having worked in various customer service jobs, including retail, I know that keeping your opinions to yourself is just part of the job.

When I started dieting and buying the healthy food, I would cringe. I was just this fat kid buying all this stuff that's "good for you". Now it's no problem, I'm in great shape and if the cashiers usually make a comment, there's no room to judge. Most of them just say "on a diet"?

I did, but not for the same thing. First, this guy asked if my chosen handbag was for my fiance, and kept saying 'It really looks like a man-bag'. Then, he scanned through my tuna through - a cheap brand, I can't afford the expensive stuff - and went "Oh? Not pole and line caught? I would've thought someone like you would care about the environment'.

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.

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.)

I was actually partially referring to Moonblood's comment. She said a cashier commented and was rude because she was buying a lot of meat. But you understand my point. If it's properly sealed, please don't make more plastic waste than necessary. I agree with that. There are the opposite people who put every single thing in a bag and it doesn't need it. But sometimes packaging isn't what it should be. It makes me worry for their kids too because it contaminates everything. I will hold up my line until I can clean the counter. Which presents another problem and isn't fair to other customers.

People have asked what an item is. And once the cashier laughed because I bought all healthy stuff and a box of Oreos. I laughed too though. I wasn't offended or upset.

before i started eating clean i use to buy 4 energy drinks, a pack of cigarettes, 2 packs of gum, and some vitamin C capsules. and the casheir would look at me like i was crazy. so many unhealthy choices.
