i don't understand these people that do this- especially in the express lane. what's worse is they can't do 2 things at once, so they actually stop running their card through/inputting their data, digging through their purse/wallet to chitty chat. or even worse, forget and then finally start rummaging through the purse looking for the checkbook to start filling out the check.

i like to chat and be friendly in my supermasrket.
it makes it much nicer when the security gurde grabs me for shoplifting. we have a nice cup of tea and a chat in his office and with luck he lets me go.Comment

What's worse is when the cashier initiates and feeds it. I hate that. I just want to buy my shit and go, not blather on about meaningless trivia with a complete stranger for 5 minutes.SIG TOO BIGComment

Well, I tend to shop at specific times when the same lady is there. So I've known her name and such for like 10 years now. I'll chat a bit with her, but if someone is behind me then I dont. It's because I know her well enough to know that she slows down when distracted by talk, lol. Both worlds I guess.43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

My local supermarkets have had self serve checkouts for about 18 months now. I scan and bag everything myself, and my credit card has a PIN so there's no need for a staff member to verify the signature, or really a staff member to do anything. Win!Comment

i certainly exchange greetings-
hello, how are you, i am fine thanks.Comment

Sometimes I'll say "Hurry up, bitch". Not sure if that counts as chit chat or not.Comment

Our store here has tards bagging the groceries... (actual tards, not calling names here) and they can never do it right. I don't think they get much, if any training. They try hard, but get distracted pretty easy by things like, life. They'll put 1 thing in one bag, and the next bag will be 100 lbs. So I frequently tell them very politely, "Get the fuck out of the way idiot. I'll do this."SIG TOO BIGComment

This is definitely a regional thing...
If you're in New England nobody is going to talk to you and they'll actually get pissed off or just completely ignore you. I fucking hate pricks like that. I don't hold up the line but if I say, "hey how's it going?" and you just turn around, you're a fucking dick...
Down south just about everyone bullshits while they're standing in line...
I prefer the happy medium where you do some light bullshitting but the line is never slowed :P I've found this is the case in a lot of Florida as you're so far south you're back into the north and instead of being either way you end up with an odd hybrid.Last edited by BestXXXPorn; 06-25-2010, 09:31 AM.ICQ: 258-202-811 | Email: eric{at}bestxxxporn.comComment

we have those baggers here too, i've not been able to tell the difference in bagging ability.
the non-tard tards will still put can goods in with the tomatoes & bananas. i truly believe the grocery stores no longer train the baggers. i even carefully put my groceries on the belt, starting with the heavy/hard goods and always ending with the produce/soft items. still doesn't matter.Comment

redondo and san pedro, so i hit the vons or albertsons on pch or the vons on palos verde blvd when i'm in rb and all the above throughout the pedro. none have them, in fact, most of these have limited selections of products, when i inquired once, the manager said limited space due to jamming the store into a small retail space. so i'm just assuming based on that. but none of them have self checkouts.Comment

That's what gets under my skin. Just ring me up and check me out. No small talk, no chit chat, I don't really care to converse in the check out line.
The worst are the ones that want to comment on almost every single item, "Oooh, I've never tried this before, is it any good?" or, "Oh these are the BEST! I just can't get enough, have you tried them with..."
Even when you give one word replies they never stop.

The local mom and pop place has a couple of kids with down's syndrome and they do a pretty good job at baggin and stocking shelves“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

Would it really be any better if it was $35? LOL.
I get annoyed with people that don't even pull out their checkbook until everything is brought up. They just sit there and stare for two minutes while the cashier is running all of their food items through. Then they sit there and sort through their purse for their checkbook. Then they sort for their pen.
Good Lord people. Think ahead!Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

I hit the same grocery store several times a week. All the people that work there are super nice. When I check out the cashiers always ask the same thing " Hi, how are you " and I'm sure all day long they get the same response. " Fine thanks "
I always try to answer them with something different just to brighten their day and break the monotony. Sorta like Norm when he walked into CHEERS. It could be something simple like " I'm hungry " said in a funny way or one particular windy day I said " I'm sure glad to be inside cause it's blowin harder than Hillary out on the campaign trail ". Once a checkout girl asked me if I wanted " paper or plastic " when she told me my total I held up some cash and my credit card and asked her " paper or plastic " A witty answer comes easy to me and it's nice to put a smile on someone's face
I am considerate to others in line and know the goal is to keep the line moving as fast as possible so if the cashier tries to turn it into a conversation I keep it moving. I'll even bag my groceries and am always ready to pay as soon as the total come up.
My biggest pet peeve is when women sit there and just watch all their groceries get checked out and then get the total and THEN start digging in their purse for whatever they are going to pay with. When they finally pay they stand there and waste more time putting all their stuff back in the purse. I find that really annoying

Sadly, I cannot shop in stealth. Being six-four with stunning blue eyes usually makes the asian/black/latina checkout girl (those ethnicities are who man the cashiers in my NYC neighborhood) look up at some point and do a triple-take. Then I smile self-consciously and they take that as a cue to engage. "Oh, he's nice - and tall, and those eyes, and - "

For real!
And the cashier that starts it is always "fugly". Fucking every time.
Never buy condoms from fugly cashiers; they always try to get to know you because
they figure : "oh, he's getting ready to fuck so I will get in on it"...Not! Miss fugly!
Fuck that!

I sometimes chit-chat up the checkout girl, but never to the point of it slowing the flow of me getting the hell out of there with my stuff and letting the next guy through.
I find this is worse at the bank. My bank in particular has a few VERY chatty tellers to love to yap yap yap with each customer while you stand in line growing cobwebs. Again, me, I keep it brief. Less chat, more chit, as in I make my deposits and I'm out of there. Unless they're serving a free buffet and that one hot teller is going to do a pole dance there's no reason to hang around.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

yes, sometimes it does suck, like the situation that caused this thread. i'm a diabetic, sometimes i am have a major situation with my blood sugar and i need to eat something fast and sit down to recover. try standing on-line with a glucose reading 20% of normal while some knucklehead takes his time telling a story to the cashier about cheetos and get back to me.Comment
