Does it irritate you when you're buying groceries and the person checking you out says

:) Why aren't you using the self-checkout machines instead?

That would help us who enjoy such personal services from the check-out clerks by giving us more time to talk about what we are planning for supper. Some of us also like to chat with others who are in line.

This reminds me of that time when chatting with the clerk about our mutual love for Rainier cherries. It was the beginning of the season and they made their appearance in the produce section with their yellowy-red heads begging to be purchased. At whatever the cost.

So the clerk puts them on the scale and punches in their code and says: "Holy Shit! $7.95 a pound???". She then immediately voids the line and reenters it as grapes, at $1.19 a pound, and whispers: "Not in my line!"

But don't you reply, "Oh, you must be trying to get reported for crossing the line with customers!"???

Nah doesn’t bother me. That’s a shit job and they’re just trying to be nice. I will answer them.

I worked at a grocery store they're just saying that to make conversation

Or “you must be having a party” when I’m not 👀
I’ve even heard “you must have a snackin’ tooth”. Lady, you just made that phrase up. Leave me and my mini muffins to myself.

I think people get bored and just want to make conversation. But yeah, the rhetorical statements are sometimes hard to deal with.

I completely agree with you. The employees are way out of line if they are commenting on your grocery or drug store purchases.

Gotta throw in some random items like big zip ties, duck tape, rubber gloves and ammonia

Not really. But maybe... When I'm buying a condom, and a person says "Oh, you must be making love."

oh do you want air miles ? , i've cashed in cans does it look like i use air miles

You can answer, "No, I will be fermenting this to make avocado wine!"

It's not anyone's business what I'm buying.

Or "oooh what are you making?" Like mind your own effing buisness

"Glue sniffing and pot pies again?"
"Must be Tuesday!"

I just let it roll off of me.
She'll cower in awe when I unveil my popsicle stick and tin foil scale model of the Kremlin.I happen to know that chicks will dig me then.

That reminds me of something that happened when I went to the store once.

Yeah kinda. Like they nosing into your life. Just do your job and butt out

Yes, but better that than drugstore checkout small-talk 🤭

I’ll be honest that doesn’t really bother me

It doesn't really happen to me.
