I'm dating a new girl, and thought it would be fun to play a few games with her as a fun date night activity. Games like "truth or fear" and "would you rather". I bought both of those games at target. They had another game, and I thought "Well, if the date goes well.....". It's called "Date night. A sexy game for couples".

So I'm buying these 3 games, and a handful of unrelated things. And after each purchase she scans, she's like "Oh, cherries! I love cherries! Oh, a dog leash! I love dogs!"

Well eventually she gets to the date night game, and she just gives me this dirty stare. She's in her 60s, and you can just tell she's been a lonely cat lady for at least 30 of them.

She just said "Oh.....well SOMEONE is going to have fun TONIGHT!!!" in this angry tone.

Like, bitch it ain't MY fault you ain't getting laid! I'm trying to get my dick sucked tonight! Sorry about your pathetic Saturday night!

They're required to do this and are following a script 🙃

The system hurts workers and customers alike.

Not being familiar with this place, I'm pretty surprised it's a thing. It just seems terribly impolite to comment on purchases. I never would have done it when I had a cashier job. There are plenty of other things you can make conversation about, you should try to pick up on whether they even want the chitchat. Not everyone does.

When I was a cashier I'd have to ask if they found everything okay, and at the end to <have a nice day, come back soon, random holiday here>. In between I didn't have to chat. So my autistic ass did not. I would chat if they did though. I just never started it.

When I was a cashier they trained us not to greet people with "Hi, how are you?" just "Hi" because some people will tell you their whole life story holding up the line.

We really need third places so people do not dump on cashiers just trying to ring up bananas! (4011)

The dog from Chicory became a cashier?

Guess it happens to a lot of artists

Caroline Ahearne did a whole series of these in the fast show. They were great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsNq3nQ612c
