The 66 Surprising Items Cashiers Secretly Judge You For Buying—Number 23 Will Shock You!
Not a cashier, but I have a story. I got rectal cancer at age 28. I had my r****m removed. During recovery I became completely incontinent. So I had to start wearing Depends.
Just for clarity, I’m a tall, skinny, relatively well dressed young woman. The teenage boy checking me out at Wal-Mart let out a quiet “d**n” when he bagged them.
Not a cashier, but I worked in fulfillment for Amazon for four years. I can’t tell you how many times I checked out the name on the label for a shipment of questionable combinations.
Memorable shipments:
* Lube + d***o + Baby Einstein video
* 16 bottles of laxatives + adult diapers
* Anytime someone orders “Thai Hookers 101 – What You MUST Know About S*X And Prostitutes Before Coming To Thailand.”
tl;dr: Don’t ever think that buying something online means that you escape the judgement of others.
Wife was buying stuff for camping. Hatchet, rope some duct tape for the hole in the tent, small shovel and matches. The cashier was looking at her and she just bursts out “Husband pissed me off for the last time” Cashiers eye bugged out and just let her go. Wife and daughter come out and are laughing and crying.
All of them. I always judge the person buying things. They are so exposed and vulnerable in that moment. They revealed so much of their desires from their purchases and all my cards are still face down. I pick the thing they are most self-conscious about and hold it up a second before scanning. I make eye contact and flash a knowing smile. Then say something overtly humorous with undertones of accusation. “This is a big bottle of wine, I hope you’re sharing it with someone.” They laugh nervously because they have to but they know I trapped them – they know.
Just because I make minimum wage doesn’t mean I can’t be a power wielding psychopath.
