Paying at the till ??

So, you get to the till, put your groceries on the moving belt, and leave a reasonable gap between your ones and the persons groceries placed in front of yours when there is no sign to place down (the lady in front of me, her kid was playing with it and then placed it in between ours just at her last two items - so I didn't want to make the child feel bad by taking the sign immediately)

So when it got to the end I then placed it behind my groceries - I had two items, a salad & a chicken breast - all of this time when there was basically a WHOLE belt to put groceries on for anyone behind. The man behind me had let the whole Belt be empty without putting his groceries down (because there was no sign in between) then the second I had put the sign behind mine he snatched it and made a show of sliding it to the VERY BACK of the belt where he then put his groceries??? How, how is this logical? Surely he could have just left a reasonable amount of space between the groceries and then put it behind his? I will never understand.

Or, is there some weird til etiquette I'm not aware of? I have no idea. Feel free to inform me of your till etiquette. But it made me laugh because it was so ridiculous Grin

I would also like to add that he placed the song at the back of his groceries at the end of the till leaving no room for others 😂 With have the belt space empty in the middle. Befuddled here haha

That’s just weird haha, don't know why the man didn't just put his groceries on the belt

He just didn’t want you to pay for his shopping. He was being nice? Grin

Wait what do you mean he placed the song at the back haha

TaytoAllDay · 25/04/2018 18:41

Sign not song haha! Whoops @glasshalffull2018*

@gamerchick that's a very positive way to look at it Grin I feel his vibe was petulant though, but I could be mistaken, lets opt for him being an ridiculously nice person then 😂

Was it Sheldon? (Big Bang Theory)

@Ginorchoc ..it all makes sense now. It had to be Sheldon! Also, off topic, I couldn't choose between Gin or choc it would have to be both Blush

I had a very strange woman behind me once (she was fairly young with a 10ish year old daughter, which made it seem all the more strange) who just started putting her shopping on the belt behind mine, whilst I was still unloading my trolley!! She looked pretty scary so I wussed out of saying anything and just piled mine up.
People are very very odd sometimes...
