Who asked for your opinion?
I don’t know if I am the only person that noticed this, but maybe I am just unlucky and end up with weirdos questioning me all the time.
So, why do cashiers comment on what I just bought?
[source]
I am serious! Every time I am at the check out, and about to pay, some old woman or punk ass teenager comments on the items that I just purchased.
Who asked them?
One time, long ago, when I used to be on drugs and suffered from severe insomnia, I bought a pack of sleeping pills. Those over the counter ones that have an extra dose of drowsy goodness. Oh the good old days! Anyways, I was at the cashier wanting to pay, and this middle aged woman looked at the box, and started lecturing me. 
I am not joking!
She told me that those are not good for me, and maybe they won’t work, blah blah. Then all of a sudden, she changed her mind and said, “well, my daughter just left to University, and I have hard time sleeping as well. Maybe it might help me.”
Can we say, moody?
So, yesterday, we went to a boat tour on the lake. Before then, we decided to grab some munchies from the drug store near by, and save some cash from ridiculous on boat prices. So, I had a chocolate craving, and bought a couple of boxes of Maltesers for everyone. (Those are addictive!)
I went to the cashier to pay. The cashier was a punk ass teenage tiny girl. She looked at the boxes, and swiped them, then said in a very sarcastic tone, “Chocolate craving eh?”
In my head, I automatically said one thing, “Bitch!”
I didn’t reply to her and just gave an unsatisfied smirk, paid and left. At least I am not a drug addict at age 16 with bad attitude!
Have you ever had an experience like this with cashier’s un-welcomed or unnecessary comments?
Blah Blah, Confused, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!

You know what would’ve been funny? Giving her a crazy look and saying “Pmsing” and go really close to her face and shriek at her “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I”M CRAZY!” She would’ve backed the fuck out. It would be awesome!
@Liane
That would have been hilarious.. but I am not a maniac Crazy Arab Girl! 
hahahhahahaha..
Meow, hiss, scratch …
The Mona we all know and love is bad
@Meyrick Kirby
I know you guys love my bitchiness.. however, I cannot do it every day. Maybe every other day!
I don’t think I’ve ever had the unfortunate event of someone commenting about my purchase – I honestly think I would have had to have said “I don’t remember asking for your f#$k opinion”
No comments from cashiers, but when you are in line and the cashier seems like he has an attitude problem, and looks at your big grocery And doesn’t like the amount of items you have, I usually give a smile and let him swipe it all, then I change my mind and return most of the items, he have to swipe each item I return another time
I did it twice to two rude cashiers.
aw, it would of been more nicer if she atleast said it with a smile, like some inside joke you two could share. Ugh teenagers are the worst, you could of got her back with a ” well with those pimples, i understand your tone towards my chocolate” or something like that… Anyways Gosh i had to deal with a black cashier, and Subhanallah! she was yelling at my mother who was trying to just pay for her shit, and honestly as all immigrant mothers who dont know much english they just want to get it over with, and i couldnt stand it, so i ended up throwing the bag of bread at her, and told her to watch her mouth when talking to my mother. So she made some big scene, and we just walked away from it all, no bad run-ins ever since.
I might point out that the cashier was right, you did have a chocolate craving
I don’t really like when people comment on my groceries, but when I lived in the south I got used to it. Of course, being southerners their comments were all very polite. “That looks good” “I’ve never tried this, is it good?” and on and on like that. I think it’s a requirement to ask about the groceries of customers there, because I never met a cashier there who didn’t do it. Oh well, at least they didn’t make snide remarks like your cashier.
I work at a register and I never did that, but I have seen customers comment on what other customers were getting and a few times it became downright rude. Once nearly caused a fight in the store. I wonder what the hell they were thinking when they said that.
@Mamaflo
Hehehe.. I don’t really swear in public or at all. I am a pretty call person. All the swearing goes on in my head. I just don’t comment when someone pisses me off, and just give them a dirty look.
@Thaer
Wow.. I want to do that one day!
@yaz
Jeez! What an incident!
@Meyrick Kirby
As we say in Arabic, “TOOZ!”
@Tina T
I don’t mind if a cashier says, “oh that’s nice. Which isle you got that from?” Stuff like that does not bother me at all. But they have no right to ask why I bought it.
@D.S.
People are weird and need to take some anger management classes!
You are not alone, I have had people comment about my purchases all of the time. Most of the time it’s when I’m by myself, appearing to buy things for a single person, maybe it’s their weird way of hitting on me..lol
@Moonstar Silverwolf
Moonstar, it’s the opposite for me! Nobody ever says much to me at checkout lines me when I’m alone, but when I have a woman with me they say all kinds of whacky and sometimes even (unintentionally?) insulting stuff.
@Craig
Like what? What do they say! Do tell!
@D.S.
DS, I feel sorry for cashiers sometimes. I was in a drugstore a couple years back and got in line just in time to see some big redneck guy hassling a tiny little lady at the cash register because the coupon he had for cigarettes was expired and he didn’t want to pay full price. He was pretty aggressive and she was pretty scared. Luckily by then a pretty long line had built up behind him and I guess he didn’t like the looks people were giving him so he stormed out, without his cigarettes.
PS nobody else better say redneck unless they are one! And can prove it!
@Mona
I got in trouble last time I told a story like that! My lips are sealed :p
It’s a fine line between friendly and intrusive. All I want the cashier to say is “Here is your change, have a nice day.” More than that and they are asking for trouble…
@Thaer
You are not just pissing off the cashier your pissing off the other people behind you in line patiently waiting their turn. You are holding up the line when you do that stunt.
@Mona
I’ve had cashiers comment on the stuff I have bought but usually they are good comments like “oh you going to love that!” or “hey that’s a new brand of chocolate”. The only time I’ve had trouble is when I order an ice cap to drink. For some reason I seemed to be cursed in that department.
@Craig
Ahhh!! Come on! We want to know!
@v
BIG TROUBLE! Some angry girl with a blog will write about it!
@Sapphire
I agree. He will piss me off more then those punk ass teenage cashiers!
@Sapphire
I either order my Ice Cap with Chocolate milk or regular milk. I hate it that it comes standard with cream. It tastes weird! And I am oh so picky about my icy caffeinated drinks.
@Mona
I don’t mind cream in my ice cap but I prefer milk because it is less fattening and easier to digest.
How rude! I hate that!! Once, I was trying to buy a 12 pack of bottled tea, when the person in line ahead of me said “oh don’t buy that, it’s too expensive” I was like “I like this type, and it isn’t that expensive.” But then the cashier had the nerve to agree with the lady, “Yes, you shouldn’t buy that kind you know, the other brand is cheaper, money doesn’t grow on trees you know!!” It was rather interesting how passionate everyone was about my tea preference.
