The 66 Surprising Items Cashiers Secretly Judge You For Buying—Number 23 Will Shock You!
I was a cashier at Costco. Dude bought a giant jar of vaseline, a giant bottle of wine and the movie Brokeback Mountain.
Copper chore boy, baking soda, and a tire pressure guage.
I don’t usually judge people on what they’re buying to be honest.
The most memorable customer I’ve ever had, however, was buying a pack of toilet paper, a pack of paper towels, a plunger, bleach, and rubber gloves. I shudder to think what kind of mess he was dealing with that day.
This only happened once, but I used to work as a cashier at a Whole Foods in Boston. A man came in one day with a swollen black eye, cut lip and blood all over his shirt. He then proceeded to buy 50 cases of maple syrup.
Had a teenage girl come in with several members of her family. They all came up to the counter practically in tears and bought a pregnancy test.
She then went into our bathroom to take the test, which I thought was odd. Seems like the kinda thing you’d do in the sanctity of your own home.
Then the girl comes out, bawling, and then her family starts bawling and they’re making a huge scene in the middle of my store. It was super duper awkward.
Not a cashier, but I learned the other day that apparently you get judged for buying alcohol at 7am. The cashier was pretty vocal about it and if I wasn’t so non-confrontational, I would have told a manager. She flat out said something along the lines of, “It’s a little too early for boozin’ up, don’t ya think?” Uhm.. One: None of your business if I’m drinking early in the morning. Two: It was on sale during a routine trip to get milk and such. Am I supposed to just leave it and come back after 5pm to buy my alcohol?
However, when I got home, I realized how my entire purchase looked. I got milk, chocolate milk, Lunchables (also on sale), and a strawberry daiquiri. She probably thought I had kids or something, so I understand her concern… kind of. She didn’t have to say anything, though. It really struck a nerve.
