The 66 Surprising Items Cashiers Secretly Judge You For Buying—Number 23 Will Shock You!
We sell batman underwear that comes with an underwear cape at my work. I always have a little bit of judgement when those come through my line.
Also, when old people buy leggings.
I got judged by a cashier once.
I was working in a welding and fabrication facility at the time as a repair guy. Since I wasn’t one of the welders I would often get tasked with whatever needed doing.
The particular job at the time required ultrasonic testing of bends made in some tubing to ensure proper wall thickness. We had one tube of ultrasound gel. Sure enough, the tube got knocked off the table and run over by a forklift.
The job was very time critical and we need to do the ultrasounds NOW. A good substitute for ultrasonic gel is KY.
I grabbed a fistful of petty cash and rushed over to a nearby grocery store and grabbed *every* tube of KY they had.
I then ran up to the cashier who then rang up tube after tube after tube. I was in such a rush that I really hadn’t thought about the normal use of KY. As she was looking at me oddly and silently ringing up my purchase I said something like “It has been crazy at work today.”
The look on her face was priceless.
Halfway out of the parking lot I realized what happened. We all had a good laugh about it at work and I had the nickname of “KY” for a few days.
If every single product is organic and costs twice as much as its non-organic counterpart , and you talk on your phone while checking out and wear your sunglasses inside and your little tennis skirt..
..I don’t like to judge people, but that just screams upperclass white entitled b***h. And I’m white.
I work at a golf course and a medium bucket costs $7 for 40 balls while a Jumbo is $13 for 100 balls. When people come in and get two mediums for $14 it instantly makes me think they’re idiots. In case you’re stupid too, two mediums is a dollar more for 20 less balls.
I used to work at a local pharmacy and a regular customer came in. The only items he purchased were a wrist brace and a tube of KY jelly… He must have noticed me looking at the items and he said “I swear these are unrelated!”
Whatever helps you sleep at night, dude.
In college I worked at the camera counter. I didn’t do most of the cashiering but did occasionally. Here was a combination of items purchased by one customer that caused me to raise an eyebrow
Chocolate syrup, astroglide, childrens toy handcuffs.
Was a cashier at a pet store for two years, so I judged people based on the dog food they bought. Still do.
Rant: Why bother getting a dog if you are going to cheap out on everything for it, including not taking it to the vet when needed because it’s too expensive, get mad at every single purchase you have to make for said dog, then buy it some alpo/pedigree/beneful and wonder why it’s going through it so fast and s******g everywhere. Take your 19 kids and have them find a better home for your poor mistreated pitbull who is forced to wear spike collars 24/7 and buy a d**n car seat.
Sorry. I worked in Buffalo.
A cashier once talked s**t to my grandma when she bought pigs feet. I think they are gross, too. But I dont want you talking s**t to my grandma about how gross they are. Mind your business.
I was seeing a girl in my first year of university, we got comfortable having s*x (and we weren’t seeing anyone else)so we stopped using condoms. One morning she felt really sick and demanded i got her Plan B. I was so f*****g nervous so when I went in i also grabbed the biggest box of Trojans there was. When i went up to the cash i placed the Plan B down first and the condoms behind it. The cashier looks up at me and was said “…well you f****d up, would you like a bag with that?”.
I was subject to a cashier’s judgement last night. Every week for the past 3 weeks, I’ve grabbed two packages of pre-made cookie dough. Pretty decent and it’s 2 for 3 dollars. 20-ish cookies a pop. We do a lot of United Way and Humane Society fundraising and I grab the cookie dough and pop them in the oven. Easy-peasy.
It just so happens I got the same cashier eacht ime. A short, young brunette. I get off work at 9pm every night and the store is directly on the way home. Last night, I grabbed the two packages of dough for the bake sale, my Mountain Dew, and some shredded cheese for my dinner that night. Same cashier girl.
This was the third week in a row I’ve bought these so I unloaded my basket, set my stuff on the belt, and wait for her to process the items. As I’m waiting, she scans the cookie dough and stops, gives me a very weird, almost smug/pity look and says, “How is it that you never have enough cookies”. My face felt like it was on fire and I managed to say that we’ve had a lot of charity bake sales lately and I like helping. (Soft spot for the Humane Society).
