Have you ever gotten the look from the supermarket cashier?

I was at the supermarket the other day to get some (junk) food since I had some buddies coming over. While I was going through the isles I remembered I needed shaving cream and toothpaste so I picked some up. Now this was in the middle of spring break so I hadn't shaved in a couple of days and was looking pretty scruffy.

Anyhow I get to the cashier and plunk my stuff down on the counter. The cashier starts going through my stuff: 3 large bags of chips, 3 2-litre Coke bottles, a 24 of Moosehead (beer), a can of shaving gel and a tube of toothpaste. She's going along scanning all this stuff and finally looks up to tell me how much I owe... at this point she looks at my scruffy mug and gives me "the look". You know, the "WTF is wrong with this guy" look... I thought it was funny...

Anyone else ever get "the look" from a cashier for a weird combination of items? Feel free to share the contents of your cart with everyone 😀
 
I don't get what was weird about the stuff you got. At the supermarket, you buy stuff you need and you looked like you needed it! 🙂


I usually just buy junk food.

Yeah, I really need a 55 yr old cashier at my place...
(Don't you think I would've mentioned it, if she was a cute girl 😉 )
 
Whenever cachiers, fast food people, etc do that to me.... I just ask them if they like their job. 😉

I think you're giving yourself too much credit. That cashier couldn't care less how you look or what you buy.

That's possible, maybe even probable... but she still gave me a look.

 
Cashiers have commented on my all junk food checkouts in the past. I laugh with them, but inside I'm thinking "just ring up the food and shut the heck up, please."
 
I think you are just paranoid. I asked my brother about that once when he was a cashier and he said they go through so many items every day there is no way they care or even notice what people are buying.
 
Yea I get the look and their number too. 😉

Oh wait, you meant the other look.

One morning after I went to the gym at 6 am for a workout and I stopped off at the supermarket afterwards to pick up some stuff for breakfast. I grabbed a package of bacon, a carton of eggs, and 4 tomatos. The lady ringing me up said full heartedly, "Looks like someone's gonna be eating some BLTs... except you're missing the lettuce... and the buns." I just replied with a "Yeah...", but not in a condescending way, more of a 'Move it along, I'm hungry" sort of way. Little did she know that I was just making myself some bacon and eggs with some fried tomatos for breakfast.
 
Back years ago in high school I worked as a checkout person in a grocery store, and with the volume of people and items I never remembered or more importantly cared what people were buying.

On busy days, I agree you wouldn't notice... but on a Tue afternoon at 3:30 when there are maybe 5 people in the whole supermarket?
 
next time you shop, go and do it when the store is slow and there is a hot cashier. And the only thing you will buy is tube steaks. Foot long, bun length, vienna sausage. You may get her phone number. Seriously, why should even care what people think? I don't
 
I worked at Super wal-mart and some 20 something women (very very cute with a nice body) bought only 3 things. a cucumber, tampons and huge cucumber :Q

I gave her a weird look and she turned bright red and said its not what i think. i just smiled and shook my head yeah.

heh i felt sorry for the girl. 😀

Edit: heh i just rememberd. I have 4 older sisters. When i was 13 i was sent to the local safeway to get one of them some tampons and pads. The look the cashier gave me was bad. heh it scarred me for life! I wont buy them or even walk in the isle now with my wife!

You should have given her your number and said "Call me when you outgrow the big cucumber".
 
I got a pretty strange look from a cashier over winter...forgot what I was buying though.

Oh, but last week I went to the supermarket and got two 12s of beer and a large tub of butter. Cashier didn't react when I paid, but I'm pretty sure I heard giggling as I left.
