Don't know about anyone else, but when I go food shopping I want to get my stuff through he checkout as quickly as possible & I don't want to be held up by the assistant asking inane question such as "so, any plans for the weekend"? "yeah, none of your damn business!" I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't mean them slowin down how quickly they scan the items. Anyone else get really annoyed by this??! Grrr!!!
