Confessions at the self-checkout.

[Hercules10]

Feeling guilty at my local grocery store this morning 'cause I was eyeing a box of Good-n-Plenty (on sale).

Then I remembered they installed self checkout aisles!

Anyone else willing to buy something through the self checkout that you usually won't take through the check-out person?

That's all I'm sayin'

 

[minnieandme]

nope not me

 

[SwedishMeatball]

I don't do self-check out. I'm afraid some sort of alarm will go off. I don't care what the checker thinks of my purchases. Well, unless all I need is a box of tampons and then I send my husband.

 

[laurie31]

Yes, I do this...with...um....personal items...

No Poopie!!! I'm thinkin the next time the wife sends me for her "Fresh-scent, extra absorbing, elliptical, teflon coated, bullet proof, fire-proof liners with a daisy on the box" I'll be sneakin' through the self-checkout!

 

[lovemygoofy]

Isn't Good n Plenty a candy?? Maybe it's something else where you are lol.

And yes I do the self checkout when buying some specific intimate items

That's why my husband uses them and thinks they're so great.

Yup, candy coated licorice. And there I checked out with candy coated licorice and also my breakfast cereal....Fiber One! My tummy will sue for seperation when those two collide....

Nah, I have no shame, I'll send everything through a cashier. I don't care what he/she thinks. But my friend Keith...he and I used to go shopping together sometimes (in the days before self checkout), and he'd always put the condoms under the ice cream. ALWAYS.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I used to live in Texas....I'm pretty sure that Good & Plenty are something all together different there. And I didn't even know that those stores had self-check out.

Didn't he ever read on the box that you're supposed to keep them from extreme temps??

I never thought of doing that. I never really cared what the cashier thought of my purchases, except this one time I was buying Fiber additive for my husband and Imodium for my son in the same shopping trip. They ended up together on the belt, and when the lady rang them up, she said (loudly), "Well, that's kind of a contradiction, isn't it? Is the Metamucil in case the Imodium works too well?"

Everyone within earshot was cracking up.

One time my prudish sister (yes I have one of those ) was working as a cashier and she was ringing up a lady who was buying a bunch of paper plates and other such items, obviously for a party. My sister made the mistake of commenting, "Looks like you're having a party!", just as she picked up some paper plates, uncovering a jumbo box of condoms. My sister wanted to crawl under the counter she was so embarrassed.

 

[Hedy]

No, but if I have a lot of change, I've been known to pay in change at one of those self-checkout thingies.

 

[SandraVB79]

when you work/ have worked as a acashier, you've seen the strangest combinations come by, and you just don't pay attention anymore.

You have the people that by the pregnancy tests together with the condoms.

There was the old man with the 15 packages of condoms, 15 packages of cigarettes and a bottle of whisky.

 

[sugarpie]

I confess that I'm terrified of the self-checkouts. I watch the people at them & most of them look very confused. I don't want my ignorance to show quite so much.

And I could care less what the cashiers think of my purchases.

That's a heck of a party!

I've done that.

I've done that too.

I wouldn't worry about 1 box of candy. It is those times I go buy 2 giant Caramellos, a carton of Forbidden Chocolate ice cream and a bag of Frito-Lay Cheddar Munchies along with four 2 liters of diet coke that I sneak through the self checker. True story.

 

[azgal81]

I guess it depends on how many purchases I have with the item. If it's alot then I'll go through the cashier since it will be a pain to check out all the other items as well. If I just have a few things then I'll go through the self checkout.
