| We all do it - we buy too many sweets, some junk food, weird items nobody usually talks about... Does it matter to you what the cashier thinks? Do you go out of your way to make sure the cashier doesn't judge you? Nobody likes being judged. But is judging a customer actually okay, for example, when a young teenage girl buys traditional razor blades? Should she be called out on it? Bonus question: Do you try to maintain your facade as an upstanding citizen or are you just shamelessly giving in to your delinquency, not caring anymore what other people think? Personally, I always make sure to buy at least one (1) vegetable with my beer. To make sure they know I'm healthy. |

| If a cashier stares at me, I just smirk back at them. |
| I do have some hedonistic tendencies, so sometimes I buy x-amount of 6-packs too many, or I buy a bunch of ice cream or 50 liters of diet coke. It happens, and it is my money, so who is to judge. Likewise, the cashiers themselves probably just want to go home after a long shift, and they couldn't care less what their generic customer bought; I pity them if they think that my doing my shopping would make their day (I mean hey, who wouldn't want Moog shopping at their place, amirite? ;) ) Point being, no, I don't care. Cashiers couldn't give a fuck, they just want to go home to their own lives, let alone judge other people's lives... |
| Lol, what, no 'cause I don't care what strangers think of my shopping choices. &++ I'm pretty sure the cashier doesn't either. They're often very nice to me and we tend to have a pleasant conversation if there's no line |
| I can absolutely guarantee you the cashier does not give a fuck about you or what you buy. the only thing a cashier will judge you for is buying your shit a minute before the store closes. |
| As a cashier, most of the time the answer is no. I have so many customers to get through in a day and, while I might have an opinion in the moment, I'll have forgotten in five minutes because we're just too busy to care about whatever it was you bought. There are exceptions, sure, like if a customer is buying a questionable amount of one kind of item, but most of the time, we just can't be arsed. |
| No, because I never buy junk food or alcohol. But I do not like when the cashier makes remarks on what I buy. Bonus question: I am an upstanding citizen, it is not just a façade. |

Yes, multiple times. I had more than once people saying stuff like: "Oh! You buy a lot of rice!" Then I would ignore them but still get pissed because I could not care less about their opinion. I do not mind talking to them though. @operationvalkyri Hum, that sounds a bit cold; do you say at least "Good evening" to those creatures? |

What did you jugde customers on, having been a former cashier? |

I do not mind talking to them though. @operationvalkyri Hum, that sounds a bit cold; do you say at least "Good evening" to those creatures? Yes I greet them. I smile and even say thank you. But I tend to forget that they are sentient. In contrast, I will always befriend my cab drivers and chat with them the whole way. I apologize for what I have said, you are actually much nicer than I am. Smiling at strangers? Huh, not likely. Smiling hurts the facial muscles. With the cab drivers, you are more or less obliged to do so, since it would be rude to start reading a book while they are driving. Better do a small talk and learn about the ideas of the populace. |

Smiling is a reflex when greeting and saying thank you. We're not obliged to do so here. I just like to practice talking to people I know nothing about since we're stuck in a confined space together anyway. You should let loose and try some junk food btw. I will not, it does not taste like food and provokes depression and various diseases. It is an awful product of the perfected civilization. Tea tastes better unsweetened. Imagine buying something in prediction for your defeat against yourself. |
I don't even try to conceal that I'm not sometimes. [/quote] Really? I see however a lot of righteous people in your favorite characters list, and no shows such as Perfect Blue, Texhnolyze or Aku no Hana in your anime favorite, so you are hiding well your evil nature. operationvalkyri said: Meusnier said: I will not, it does not taste like food and provokes depression and various diseases.

Instant gratification > long -term effects Caffeine is bad for you. Not at all, only excessive consumption of caffeine is dangerous for health. But reasonable consumption of tee is actually beneficial for various reasons. At least, it keeps me awake. And as Erdős said it: "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." Other coffee jokes: "Coffee is a drink that makes you sleep when you do not drink it." "A comathematician is a device for turning theorems into fee." |
| When I worked as a cashier I silently judged everyone and now I assume every cashier is doing the same to me but I honestly just don't care what they think. |
 |
| Yeah it sure is embarrassing when i'm checking out with my 20 pack of XXL Pleasure me Ribbed Durex for the eighth time that day. |
| @_Maneki-Neko_ I did not watch the movie yet, but I gave 10 to Aku no Hana, that seems pretty deviant to me. But of course, taste have not much to do with "deviancy", and I would not be chocked to see a monk reading Sade. Otherwise, I have the impression that the last [/quote] is missing in your message. |
| yeah but for different reasons. i fear they judge me for being a smelly slob creepy loser, who doesn't have a girlfriend. which I am but I don't liek to be judged for it. |
| They're just there to do their job. Judging customers should be at the bottom of their priorities. Regardless, I don't care. I buy whatever I need/want. |

| not in the slightest, but then again I don't really care about other people judging me so |
 |
| I don't care whether they judge me or not. It doesn't affect me. |
| I don't buy junk of any sort, I only get what I need and I can't care less about what others think. I don't go there to impress anyone lol. |
 |
| Considering how adept of Fordism the check-out process is here, I doubt employers have time to think about what people are buying. That said, I'd much rather be warned that I'm not buying normal cow milk because I got the label wrong. |
 |
| I think it depends on the store: At a grocery store, yeah but not so much or hardly intense. At a sex shop, I know they're judging me--cause I'm judging me too by the purchase Think I proved my point. |

| When I walk into the gas station to get a few things I sometimes feel like they think I'm going to rob them because some almost immediately ask if I need anything. This happens when I go out with a hoodie and shades. It's been more easy going with the pandemic though because some people have masks on so I appear less suspicious. I often to go to self checkouts so I can avoid awkward small talk with the cashiers in stores and fumbling with the change passoff. I only go to a cashier if absolutely necessary to get out of there. However I have ran into issues at self checkout too. There is one woman who actually watches me to make sure I scan everything which I hate. I also find it embarassing to go through checkout more than once for having to go back so when that happens I try to go out another spot so no one questions me or makes a comment. |

| not really, no. i wager that no matter what i buy, i'm positive they've seen far weirder things and people. |
| I know they judge me and they're free to do so. Ain't gonna turn my whole life around for some rando. |
 |
| Not really. I've been cashier before, I don't give a shit what you buy. |

feelingofgaze said: Yeah it sure is embarrassing when i'm checking out with my 20 pack of XXL Pleasure me Ribbed Durex for the eighth time that day. I know right? Susan (the girl at the cash register) can't believe how many Trojan Magnum XL condoms I go through in a week. And I have to tell her, "Hey Susan, I need a big condom because I'm a big man with a big plan, and I like to tuck an over sized condom over my under sized balls so it doesn't slip off when I hump my waifu pillow. (Susan doesn't like me very much) |
|
| Yes and I don't even know why, this is why I only use automatic cash now. |
 |
| like 90% of cashiers in my city are extremely nice and make conversation with you. So it's not hard to ignore the 'what if's and stuff. > > |
| "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." -Kino's Journey |
| When I was a cashier I could not give a damn. Of course I'd notice it but like hey, who cares? I only got annoyed when they bought like, a million fruit. Fruit has to be put on a scale and determined on a computer what it is, and one type of fruit used to take a minute to scan through. Buying a lot is super annoying. |
 |
| nah, they don't care about you. I'll shamelessly go into a shop and purchase just snacks and nobody looks twice my way. |
| I honestly really really don’t care. |
  |
| I'd probably be disappointed if no one reacted to me buying a collection of items that would imply that I'm a serial killer. |
