    My wife once sent me to the shop to pick up some hand lotion, a cucumber and a box of tissues.

    The 16 year old girl behind the counter gave me a weird look.

    We were cracking up last time at Safeway because it announces everything you scan.

    “please put your bulk potatoes in the bagging area”

    And the voice changes when it says the item name, no idea why we thought it was funny but we were losing it

      I love the voice change, it makes it sound like it’s saying the item with massive air quotes so suddenly everything sounds like a euphemism for something terrible

    Reminds me of when, much younger, my wife was going into a store to grab pregnancy tests. She was very shy about it but quickly grabbed them, played it off cool with the cashier and left. When she got home, I had to point out the error she made in her haste: instead of pregnancy tests, they were tests for vaginal bacteria!

    Not only did she boldly look the cashier in the eye, she was ultimately saying “oh ya, you know it stinks down there and I will not be ashamed”. Which good on her except she was so embarrassed when she found out.

    (Real talk though, no shame of you do need to test your pH down there, or doing a bit of family planning)

      Not old, it’s called being emotionally mature (may depend on how you are processing it).

        Exactly, I’ve worked checkout and the only time I cared or even paid attention to what someone was getting was when family or friends went through my line

    You’re selling this shit in your shop and I’m paying full price buying this shit. I’m not embarrassed one bit.

    If you want to pass the pain to someone else you can order it on Uber or whatever and specify they go through human checkout lmao
