The worst are the old geezers and biddies, they can barely remember how to get their cards working if they even ever learned in the first place and then they'll spend 20 minutes arguing over whether or not the coupons they cut out applies to the similar-but-not-valid item they got before asking for you to fetch it, or wander off in the middle of checkout because they remembered something they wanted.

It had been some time since my drivers license had expired. I had attended to the matter well before the deadline but the state felt there was no need to inform me they had ultimately found my photo unacceptable for even their own sub-standards. By the time I had convinced them I was not so ugly I could not grace the DMV's only product the id had expired and had only a passport card and photoless paper license to fall back upon.

At this point knowing only time could remedy that matter I abided a leisurely stroll through my favorite asian grocery mart. After remarking to myself on the happenstances of asian markets offering so much American produce while American markets seem to sell only South American produce I had made my selections and was now in queue at the most seemly checkout available.

The woman seemed to have a poor grasp of the nation's common tongue but that was a matter I had traversed on many an outing there and was quite comfortably enacting a smooth trade as usual.

After presenting my MasterCard the woman requested my identification and I obliged. This is when everything stopped. She narrowed her almond eyes ever further and flipped her gaze betwixt myself and the badge, flipping the pass over and over again to suddenly belt out, "why you different?"

What could I say? The picture was certainly mine. It had been updated this year! What could be the matter as she repeated the inquiry. "Why you different?" Had she suddenly taken offense I had encroached on her ethnic realm? To what else could she be referring? What was was it that demanded I be singled out of everyone in the store?

"Why you different?"

Over and over again she started belting the question at me. "Why you different?"
"Why you different?"
"Why you different?" Louder it got.
"Why you different!?"

Without preparation I had to on myself as to why I had always been picked last, why my love always went unrequited, why my involvements had always been an exception yet never exceptional.
"WHY YOU DIFFERENT?!" resounded once more and every eye was upon me as I stood speechles, lacking all explanation as to my existence. As that din crowded my thoughts a window was opened.
"Oh passport card. That new?"
"Yes, you can go to Canada or Mexico if you drive."
"Never see before... different."

I have lived here 10 years. I am conspicuously not a local by appearance. I was at the grocery store waiting in line with a young mother and her son in front of me. Lots of people waiting in 3 lines.

She sees a cashier sit down at the next register and proceeds to run there to be first at the new checkout. The cashier informs her that she is not open but only setting up the drawer for later.

Young mother proceeds to return into her spot in front of me and others in the line without any type of acknowledgement of me whatsoever.

Nah, I'm just tired of people so immersed in their phone that they are completely oblivious to the fact that they're blocking an entire isle (or doorway, or holding up a queue) with many people waiting to get past.

Horribly annoying. Have to check to see if each item is covered. These items change. It's very regulated and a documented mistake can coat the store the ability to process them. At least that's what my mangers told me when I was a cashier.

I live in bumfuck backwater in the south where the nearest grocery is walmart. It never fails that I see a short line with 1 fatass black mama with a cart of 12 items and I think, this will be quick. Turns out she has 4 different transactions of 3 items each. Her shit, then her nieces daughter Shaquena's super maxi pads, cookies and chips; her son Tyrone's carton of Newports and several bottles of malt liquor; and Tyrone's 10th son, Kamil's, Pampers and formula apparently to be paid for by the girl who had Kamil, not Tyrone.

Every fucking time.

This seems to be happening at my local Oakridge grocery store, where they no longer carry Fig Newtons anymore (while carrying Shitbrand knockoffs) or those Edward's individual pie slices (if I get a whole pie, I’ll eat in one night).

>baggers who don't group like items

This really bugs me, as I specifically lay out my stuff on the conveyor belt in appropriate order; heavy stuff first, canned stuff all together, light stuff at the end and in particular I group all the cold stuff together, so it can all be put into one or two bags where it retains its coldness on the drive home and makes loading the fridge easier.

I've got a nearby Tops with a quartet of them that're always fucking up no matter how few items you've got, so much so that I avoid them like the plague and will take a manned lane with a line instead. I can't remember the last time where I went through a cashier line and DIDN'T hear "*BRRRP* PLEASE WAIT FOR AN ATTENDANT TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE" coming from the self-checkout section before I'd made it through with my own purchase.

>>8756807
Similarly, baggers who don't use the heavy bags I brought to hold the heavy shit I bought. I group my shit for a fucking *reason* and yet some assholes will cram the heaviest stuff into the lightweight bags I put at the end of the bag column, which coincides with the light stuff I put at the end of the goods column. Heavy-ass jugs and bottles and cans do not play well with thin cotton, god damn it, that's what the canvas bags are for.

>Underrated post.

Rich white parents take their sweet ass time while checking out as well.They literally send their kids to go get stuff at the last min as they are paying, and have long ass "friendly" conversation with the cashier. Cashier waists more time as the line grows to ask nine to ten retarded questions like "Your name is Tommy? I have a pet dog named Tommy............" Waited 13 fucking mins behind some fag, and his brat son once.

Than of course when I get up the the register to pay for my item the cashier tries to rush me to make up for the lost time she wasted with the person in front of me.

The ones at my local supermarket worked great for a while, and then one day and henceforth forever, every other item throws an error message and a "PLEASE WAIT FOR NEXT AVAILABLE ASSISTANT, YOU FUCKING LOSER". Or it starts moving the items down the belt, then halfway down, reverses and says "PLEASE CARRY YOUR SHIT TO THE BAGGING AREA, YOU OAF." Then it starts moving the item back to the bagging area again when I go to grab it, and throws up a "PLEASE STAND BY. HELP IS ON THE WAY." I swear they have actual retarded people remotely controlling those things.

I live around a lot of blacks and Puerto Ricans, and almost every time I go to the grocery store there will be some huge fat bitch - a lot of times shopping with another huge fat bitch that I assume is her sister, they'll be buying like 20 bottles of shampoo or detergent, and they'll a million coupons they're trying to use on the wrong products so that ties up the line forever. I only bring up their race because I've never seen it before I moved here and I only see blacks and Puerto Ricans do this.

I don't have a bill with me to check how much I use, but I pay like $2 a month for my water bill, and I sure it's the exact same thing I'd get if I paid a lot more to get it in a plastic container - if I want it to be refrigerated I just fill a cup from the sink, but it's usually cold enough to drink straight from the faucet.

I used to have a thing screwed on to the place the water comes out of where you could push a lever and make the water shoot up like a water fountain, so I didn't even need to use a cup or water bottle.

The grocery store I to always has a bunch of stuff opened like that, and every single thing they sell looks like they'd been playing soccer with the container so you can't even just get something that looks fine, you have check and make sure for all of them. I've also gotten things that looked sealed and I had to open but they've already been half eaten - none of the other places I've gone have ever had things opened, but they also weren't still selling things with a "sell by" date multiple months beforehand and a "use or freeze by" date on meat being a few days ago, and they also managed to have enough food that you could go any time the store is supposed to be opened, cleaned up spills, and had a single employee working there who wasn't just hanging out with their friends at the door, so I think the one I go to is just impressively awful. It's a chain and all the other locations are perfectly fine, but this is the only one in walking distance.
