Is it wrong

[Bathsheba]

for me to want to kill the cashier in the supermarket when he reads the front + back headlines of my newspaper before he scans it through the till? x

[bensmum]

You should ask him if he'd like a cup of coffee and a cake to go with it!

[4getmenot]

next time just very calmly go and get him a paper and place it infront of him

[4getmenot]

someone mention cake?

[figure]

That's not only wrong but rude too. Some nerve they got eh!
Did you ask for a discount since you were buying a used newspaper?

[mccfluff]

nope

[funnygirl]

It is annoying especially when they do it with food items.
Picking them up, reading whats on the box/cover/lid.

I feel like saying "do you mind!!!"

[~max~]

Next time, just snatch the offending item and beat him over the head with it. ;O) Although best to be avoided if it's the Sunday times, as there would be a risk of serious concussion.

I must admit I've said before "Are you going to go halves on that with me then?"

[helliebobs]

hi maxie hun hows you? x

[squirtle]

Not wrong at all...............

I went into a local off licence once (well i have been many many times), and the flippin' awful woman was on her mobile phone whilst serving me with my goodies, she chatted away whilst i gave her the most intense daggered look, but she just carried on, took the money and handed me change and that was it!!!!!!!!!! No thanks.........Nothing.

I just walked out dumbfounded...............ignorant witch.

I'm good hun, pulled an all nighter so I can go to bed at a reasonable time tonight and get back to "normal" / non-vampire-like sleeping patterns...lol
I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open already!

I try and go to the same two cashiers because one of them packs in the same way I do so I don't end up really tense and stressed if she so much as looks at my goods and a bag in the same glance; (it has to be done just so!) She is also very profession, doesn't talk and knows I don't have a club card.

The othre cashier is a young lad and is my new favourite as he stroked my ego the other day and I'm shallow like that, however he does like to read the back of a book if I feel like a thriller, comment on my choice of wine and more recently give me reviews of a couple of CDs. I'd rather have him and his opinons than the other monkey heads though.

[helliebobs]

That's good max, get your body clock back to normal, hopefully that'll make you start to feel a bit better. x

[sense4all]

Take two and tell him this one is for you to read and that one is for you to scan. give him the exact money for one only.

[weeal]

Bathsheba, did you kill him? are the cops on yer tail?
It'll make headlines for tomorrow's cashier lol

[skyep]

Bathsheba - If you think about it, although it's annoying, he phsychologically finds you very approachable as a customer. To me it says he knows you well, may be you are a regular? xxx

[Stephen_G]

Happens to me in my local Morrison's too - you're not the only one, Bathsheba. It makes it worse because I'm on my 45 minute lunch break. I get proper p1$$3d off.

[daffy654]

We have a cashier at our local Co-Op who will always read the headlines and then try to strike up a conversation about what is written there. I once had the oddest chat with her about breast implants as there was a story about Katie Price on my MORE magazine cover.lol.
I refuse to go to her till now when buying papers and magazines.

I'm the only person it seems that it doesn't bother.I find it quite amusing when cashiers comment on my shopping. Funnily enough none of them ever say anything when they are scanning the KY!
