Post your latest receipt so I can judge you.

>load up on frozen dinners once a month
>talking getting like 60-70 frozen meals as they are often onsale 5/10 near me
>this basically takes up every open spot in my freezer aside from the part on the door
>Do this once a month
>only other time I go to the store is for booze, sub from the deli, and mixer for weekends, maybe eggs for breakfast during the weekdays
>lady asked me "don't you ever eat anything?"
kill me...

First week on the job?
Don't worry, you'll have independence thought and judgement sucked out of your soul soon enough.

>>14790736
I started using self-checkout when I had to buy jock itch cream and this is why I still do. I won't feel bad when you're replaced.

>>14790764
Frozen meals are literal cancer

You're paying $5 a meal to poison yourself when you could prep your own delicious, healthy, meals for less than $2 a meal

Those things are loaded with seed oils. I guarantee you have got a stupid omega 3/6 ratio and your body is slowly dying

>>14790736
I love when people wonder whether cashiers judge their purchases, as if they're not human beings with thoughts or feelings. People literally ask shit like "do cashiers judge the stuff you're buying?"

>>14790776
I buy stool softener to add to my cat's food. It only occurred to me the last time that it might look odd with me buying it, but whatever.

I never really paid attention to other people until COVID and the social distancing made checkout even in self serve take a long time and Im shocked at how many people were loading up on frozen dinners and soda when its so much cheaper to even buy a slow cooker and make shit in bulk thats actually healthy.

>>14790736
they were out of the dutch process cocoa powder :(

>>14790736
>especially if they're a regular.
this part confuses me, because who would specifically choose to go to a different supermarket every time?
everyone just goes to the closest cheap one near their house.
literally everyone in there is a regular, even down to the Tradies buying coffee milk and a pie twice a day.

>>14790781
>Rouse's
My man! I exclusively shop there.

>>14790782
Not really. I go to 4 or 5 different stores at different times or sometimes not at all.

>>14790782
Different supermarkets have different deals and coupons, anon.
>inb4 fake richfag LARP

>>14790788
yeah, I like them. Their store brand is top notch.

>>14790840
No kidding. I love their store brand bacon.

>>14790849
Their in house dry aged beef is good too. I also find deals on brisket on occasion. I like a family owned store, they take great care of their stores.

>>14790866
Yup, everything about them is top notch. They even have a decent humidor at the one I frequent. Where are you from, buddy? I'm in BR.

>>14790874
me too, I usually go to the one on Burbank.

>>14790905
That's the one I go to, lmao.

>>14790905
>>14790915
you two should kiss next time you go there

>>14790782
Sparky here. Who fucking buys grocery store coffee? Also, I rarely go out just for groceries, so I usually just go to whatever store I'm closest to or whatever's best on the way back. About the only store I'll go to specifically is Costco for certain shit only.

>>14790795
Most discount chains honour competitors' coupons. Loblaws/Superstore usually even has a board at the front of the store with their competitors' recent flyers stapled to it, excluding membership-based stores.

>>14790919
I'm not homo, but I would buy him a drink at the tap room next door.

I was a cashier for a while and eventually you literally become blind to what people are buying. Somebody could come through with a box of condoms, a pound of cucumbers and a bottle of xy jelly and i wouldn't even think anything of it desu

>>14790919
ima kiss you instead!!!
>>14790925
Skål, my dude

>>14790925
You would tap him in the drink room next door

>>14790966
Stop being so lewd.
>>14790959
You never know, I may have already bought you a drink before. :^)

I worked in a coffee shop for a while.
The shit people drink is absurd.

>that 50 year old guy stopping in every day at 8am sharp (earliest allowed by law) for six huge cans of malt liquor and a half dozen scratch off tickets

>the 20 factory guys stopping by covered in grease for lunch because nothing beats a prepared foods tuna sandwich (exxxtra mayo) and two big jugs of gatorade every day

>those fedex drivers that stop at the same time every day to use the bathroom and grab another 64oz fountain drink with m&ms and snickers for the road

>>14790774
All of our bodies are slowly dying

>>14791195
Speak for yourself, I'm gonna live forever

>>14790736
If they are "regular" this would be indicative of healthy eating habits. It's the constipated or overly loose ones you have to feel sorry for.

And by which method, I wonder do you determine which customers have which problems anyway?

>>14790774
They are stoffers stuff or lean cuisine, most of what I get is
>fish and mac
>Chicken and veggies
>meatloaf and potatoes
stuff like that

The other meal I eat is frozen or dehydrated veggies + ramen

>>14790774
>5 for 10
that's 2 dollars a meal anon

>>14791216
just because it has lean in the name doesn't mean it's healthy anon

>>14791350
No shit there is "obviously something more healthy", but compared to what probably 4 out of 5 people eat on this board it's fine. I balance it out with veggies, exercise, water, and a decent breakfast. Though most of my meals are frozen dinners they are pretty fine. They are only issues for brain dead morons who can't read serving sizes or nutritional facts.

Yeah if I ate Hungry Man 200% daily sodium, washed it down with a 2 liter of cola, and snacked on doritos all day there would be cause for concern.

>>14790736
It's ok, we're all either judging you or pitying you because you're a broke ass cashier.

Only time I judge people is when they grab a bunch of vegetables and I have to manually look up the codes for each different obscure fruit and vegetable. Just buy them prebagged you hipster cunts

>>14791471
>consume the plastic imported vegetals anon don't make me do my job of knowing a whole twenty different products

>>14791471
>grab prepackaged
>easily 1-3 dollars more
No, I work as a cashier and it's pretty easy to start remembering codes after a week or two. only time I actually get fucked with codes is like apricots or seasonal shit, Nuts can go fuck themselves though.

>>14791377
Your frozen meals are better than my past roommates.
Previous one literally only ate frozen pizza.
Current one literally only eats takeout.
It's not even a joke.

>>14791350
Wow anon, figure that one all out by yourself?

>>14790776
I get pissed off mpre at the people who claim they arent judging you.

>>14790781
>spending 3.49 on something that does nothing

>>14791519
Mine is basically
>breakfast
Biking to work:Mcdonalds for 2 egg mc muffins for 4 dollars
WFH: 3 eggs + bowl of cereal(shedded wheats)
>lunch
Office: Frozen meal(if in the office)
WFH: ramen of 1/2 cup of dehydrated mixed veggies+noodles and some slices of beef/chicken
>dinner
Frozen dinner or two depending how I worked out that day/did cardio and what my calories for the day is.

Monday thru-Friday, Sat and sunday I often just do whatever but the work week I tend to keep a pretty strict regular diet. I once use to be super fat so trying to avoid it, so far lost over 100lbs and managed to keep my workouts decent.

>>14790736
/ck/ lol

This board is full of fat fucks that have no clue how to cook a healthy meal.

>>14790764
>reifag is a disgusting retard

>>14791680

>>14791700
Oh look, another board tourist who came here thinking this isn't the "eating and stupid questions" board like it has been for the last fucking decade. My recommendation? Eat shit.

>>14791850
k fatty

>>14791853
Fuck off, newfag. Are you still banned from /tv/?

>>14790736
Yep. It makes you realize how bs the HAES and "body positivity" movements are too. 99+% of the time, people look exactly how you would expect from the foods in their carts.

>>14791195
And yours is doing it a whole fucking lot faster, lard-ass.

>>14790736
I just got the most bizzare mix of things
>holloween candy, treats, and a few decorations because we're decorating the office tomorrow
>a few supplies for camping because I'm heading out for the weekend right after work
>some supplies for my home bar because they had some aperol and rum on sale

So the lady at checkout is seeing my buy a ceramic skull, a witch's hat, some candles, fire starters and a lighter, alcohol, a bottle of deep red liquid, raw beef, and apples. That's right bitch the coven meets tonight and I've gotta pay for this week's sacrifice and for the pre drinking.

>2020
>not using self checkout

>>14791471
Decent bait

I worked at a supermarket on the checkout, and you literally just become blind to what people buy. Condoms, tampons, various embarrassing medicines, the alcoholics buying booze everyday. All just goes through the scanner as a I wageslave away my life. Who am I to judge anyone else?

However, when I worked at a gas station, I definitely judged people because it was in the fucking hood. The worst were the prostitutes and the meth heads. Not to mention all the thieves.

I always go to the store at exactly 7:30am and all the staff knows me. If there is organic meat reduced because of the use by date, the one guy hides it in the back for me. Same with smoked salmon.

>>14791460
This
When I was in my teens I was afraid if th cashier was judging me, then I grew up and realized they are either a loser with no skills or an old person that has to much time on their hands and will likely die soon

>>14790793

Cityfag bugmen detected.
If your town has more than 1 supermarket then you're beyond saving.

>>14790782
Every time a fithy wagie's eyes light up in recognition I feel sick to my stomach.

>>14791519
I had a housemate that only ate plain rice with mayo or plain pasta with butter.
Now he wonders why he's fat with a heap of health problems in his 30s

>>14792697
What do hookers, junkies, and tweakers buy at convenience stores? I rarely go to them.

>>14790959

You must live a miserable and embarrassing life if you're so embarrassed to be recognized by functioning humans

>>14792556
>stealing tons of produce because they go by item number and not weight
Yes officer this bag of garlic is clearly 1 clove.

>>14791798
No no no fuck you no no no

>>14793163
Scandi fags are such cancer, no one cares that non english/americans use this site

>>14790774
all our bodies are dying anon

>>14791798
Proof that weebs are literally garbage.

supermarkets are junk food stores
i eat well for the most part but i shop at the market for my fruit vegetables dairy and meat
i only go to the supermarket to stock up on instant ramens, kraft dinner and ice cream
or pop, chips and hotdogs if i'm throwing a party or something
so i see why you would think that

>>14790774

>on /ck/
Lol

>>14791850
kek

>recognizes customers as regulars
I don't recognize store clerks or wagies in general because they are nothing to me. Who gives a shit what they think about my groceries? I only care to engage if they are asking me if something is good or they say they like something, too, and even then I'm like.. can you just be quiet and get my shit scanned? Literally not a person just my barrier to getting my shit home

>>14794216
I'm sorry anon. When I worked in retail, I was forced to converse with customers or else my boss would write me up. Most cashiers don't give a shit about you and are just forced to talk to you.

>>14790736
Being a guy with a real job I can't help but judge people with shit jobs like supermarket cashier. I use the self checkouts. Your 'job' won't exist soon.

There was this lanky nerdy looking kid who got employed at my old regular supermarket. He was this over-the-top tryhard type who I guess was trying to come off as affable and build rapport by commenting on and trying to have conversations about people's items. It was fucking horrifying watching and annoying to experience. Dude, just fucking scan and bag. I don't care what you think about the chips. It was bordering on invasive of people's privacy or at least personal space the way he'd ask and comment on their shit.

>>14790736
Starting to learn how to cook really opens your eyes both to just how much money you're blowing on pre-packaged shit and just how bad it is for you.

>>14791700
/ck/ is half home cooks and half people who make threads about their 50 dollar haul from McDonald's.

>>14794589
Maybe the customers enjoyed it idk. Im reluctant to take your word for it cause ya sound kinda bitter idk

>>14790736
Just shut the fuck up and bag my groceries, wagie.

>>14790764
bro. for your own health, please at least meal prep.

>>14790779
Who the fuck is supposed to buy it, the cat?

>>14791195
What an absolute brainlet take.

>>14790736
This is why I use self checkout.

Alton Brown said something similar in his Hot Ones video
He just walks out and leaves groceries behind when he sees the garbage people buy

>>14793030
>What do hookers, junkies, and tweakers buy at convenience stores?

sugary energy drinks, cigarettes, icecream

for some reason the methheads liked drinkable yoghurt as well, I assume it's a way to get calories when you're not hungry

>>14791488
nice digits

>>14790736
more like, makes you realize how much you hate literally everyone around you

>>14794216
lol @ this killer robot pretending to not recognize the personnel of the store where he's a regular customer

>>14790764
have you tried not eating frozen food

>>14790736
The more shameful my cart is the uglier a cashier I visit. I always thought I was being weird and paranoid, so thanks for confirming my suspicions OP.

>>14790736
Sorry, you're dumb Op. I pretty much shop at three different grocery stores, and the one I buy my produce from is the ONLY one I buy produce from because every other store that has the deodorant I want, or the rice in bulk, or the flavor of jam I require has tomatoes for 3x the price. Or has excellent prices for everything, and consistently over/underripened produce.

People do the things they do for a reason, and your opinion can lick it's own ass.

Maybe take yourself down a peg, you checkstand pleb.

>>14790736
The best is the people who buy organic but still drink like fish and smoke cigs.

>>14790764
enjoy your kidney stone

And those same people can't stop judging you and other cashiers for being minimum wage failures.

>>14798655
How do you know they're not buying the booze for themselves and the organic kale for their bipolar sister?

>>14790764
lamo wtf

>>14791350
Lean Cuisine isn't perfectly healthy but it is better than what most people eat.

lol

>>14790774
Food is a vehicle to get nutrients you need to live, if it tastes good great but if most of your own cooking doesn't taste like much of anything why bother.

>>14798899
They’re too skinny and stuff the mini wine bottles right in their purse. Same for the cigs. There’s no hiding it.

>>14790764
why do "people" like this even post on /ck/?
>>14790736
when I stand in line I judge the people in front of me too.
>>14790781
>Hershey
>cheap vegetable oil
>sugar
>canned tomatoes
>processed vegetables for children
and you judge other people? lol

>>14801143
I use the oil after I clean my cast iron, I don't cook with it. I didn't judge anyone. I just posted my receipt.

>>14790736
fuck you wagie
take my money and shut up
can't wait until all of you fuckers are replaced with self checkouts

>>14792901
I lived in a town of like 15,000 that had 2 grocery stores.
