    Text - shawanjunk 1.1k points · 1 month ago I'm not a cashier anymore, but when I was there were some interesting interactions. The one that comes to mind is a guy came in drunk and tried to buy a single carrot. He must've gotten hungry while waiting in line because he took a massive bite out of it. Then he didn't understand that we sold them by weight and we were trying to figure out how to charge him for it when half of it was in his stomach

    Text - lotusfairymoon 860 points · 1 month ago · edited 1 month ago I worked as a cashier at a restaurant and we had a regular. We called her sour cream lady because everytime she came in she would order 11 sides of sour cream with her food. Her face would always flush but no matter what she always got her 11 sides of sour cream. I totally judged. *Edit not to shame her but this woman had to be nearing close to 400 pounds. I was judging if she would even survive the first serving of sour cream.

    Text - Paksarra 27 points · 1 month ago Usually not. The weirdest one was someone who bought nothing but $63 worth of store brand gelatin in about half a dozen flavors. I occasionally regret not asking.

    Text - Pyroclasmic88 78 points · 1 month ago Former cashier. I never really judged anyone on what they bought but the one that will stick with me is 38 $1 pregnancy tests. The customer said it's bad when you can't trust your daughter... i didn't even know how to respond

    Text - BhiQ42 172 points · 1 month ago I asked a woman who regularily bought all of our cream cheese (10-20 300g packs at a time)what she's using the cream cheese for once... wasn't judging or anything, just curious. Turns out her family just seems to eat a lot of bread ...

    Text - wuapinmon 3.5k points · 1 month ago S Circa 1992, I had an approx 50 y/o lady come into the Kroger where I worked in Georgia and buy condoms, tampons, a Cosmopolitan, beer, kitty litter, and those birthday cake candles that don't blow out when you blow on them. I joked, "Big night, huh?" She responded, (and people didn't really drop the f-bomb in suburban Atlanta back then), "You have no f.icking idea, honey."

    Text - EverElusivekudo 632 points · 1 month ago I was a cashier years ago, and as I was ringing through a cart full, I picked up a bottle of warming lube. The label was wrinkled on the bar code so I took some time to smooth it out so it would scan and the guy thought I was examining it or something, and said in a rawr wink wink kind of voice, "it's for her." And pointed at the lady with him. Okayyy. Thanks for the clarification, thought you were gonna spread it on toast.

    Text - DatBigAssCat 367 points · 1 month ago Was a cashier for 3 years. I dont give a sh.t what you buy. Just please dont say the "It must be free, then!" Joke. I die a little everytime I hear that. I'm not going to judge you on your items. I'll judge you if you're being a d ck during the transaction.
