‘Friend’ and self checkout

[SaltnPep]

So it’s about a ‘friend of mine’, someone who I know about a year but trying to phase out as I’m finding her quite difficult to deal with…

The other day I was grocery shopping and I was scanning my stuff at the self checkout. I just about finished up, paid and started to load the shopping into the trolly.

Then I hear my name.. (loud and squeaky voice) she comes up to me and starts
helping me by putting my shopping in my bags.

Made a comment about me buying some alcohol (this 2 bottles of wine) and how she has some at home but doesn’t drink much.

I just found this very invasive but I would like some reassurance that I’m not in the wrong. I literally tied to stuff my bags at the best speed as I can as I found it weird that someone else is going through my shopping.

As I said I’m trying to phase this friend out as I am having some issues with her, I no longer trust her and finding her company very hard to deal with. But regardless, I found her very invasive and disrespectful after the checkout thing and I was wondering what others think?

That's really rude of her.

Hmmm it depends. If this was a good friend of mine it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. But if it's someone who tends to irritate me anyway then yes I'd be irritated. Not much help im sorry 😂

Stuff of nightmares. I would be extremely uncomfortable with this.

I only drink probably once a month but I'd hate it if a friend turned up on the day I was buying six bottles of cider and some chocolate or something. They don't know if what you are buying is a typical shop for you or not.

Well what did she say? There's a difference between 'oh I love that wine' too 'oh you going on a binge'? I mean what was offensive about what she said?
Couldn't care less if a friend helped me with my shopping and it's more likely to be six bottles of wine and they can think what they like.

She was kinda indicating that oooh you are drinking… it was in a cheeky, suggesting way.

I don’t know, I sorta felt like that it was invasive. I also have my system to pack my bags and this ‘friend’ is so opinionated and loud and feel like she is telling everyone everything… just didn’t feel right and I really didn’t want her to pack my bags

I wouldn't like that either OP

people being over familiar or intrusive is the kind of thing that makes me uncomfortable
