To not want to speak to the cashier

[justcarrots29]

I was at Sainsbury's this morning and the man serving me says hello (lovely, polite) and begins to scan my items. Halfway through he say "So are you doing anything nice tomorrow?".
Now of course this in not the first time this has happened but I mean WTF? Why on God's green Earth does he think I will tell him my social plans for Sunday??

It is lovely when when people say Hello, thank you please etc. I always say hello and thank you and please but I draw the line at some of the things I get asked at the checkout:

"Oh having guests this evening are we?"
"Oh that wine is lush but have you tried..."
"I think that colour will look lovely on you"
"Had a nice day today?"

I'm a mystery shopper, and the whole "natural conversation" is one of the criterea we mark on .

Ok Ok Ok - IABU Next time I will engage in the conversation more all the while cringing about the virtual ear bashing I have had for being rude

Please can we stop commenting on the thread now...I feel a little self-concious for some reason...

mutznutz am snorting with laughter!

There was a funny sketch once about the cashier who comments on everything going past on the conveyer belt:

'Air freshener. Oooh house a bit pongy then? Are those free range eggs? They're just the same as battery eggs - just with a bit more shit on them . . . '

I miss my Waitrose ladies. The checkout kids here really are kids and they are polite enough but not lovely and chatty like the older ladies at Waitrose.

YABU. wouldn't have hurt you to say 'Nothing much, you?'
