to feel that this sales assistant should have minded his own business?

[grapenuts]

My husband bought a pregnancy test for me from Sainsburys.

Anyway on giving the test to the man at the till, he turned to my DH and said "So what do you want the result to be?" My husband, shocked by the question said "It's complicated".

((The context is that I had a miscarriage and I wanted to see if the hcg had gone down. Very depressingly really wanted a BFN so my period would come quicker and we could get back to start to ttc.))

Don't you think that was really impertinent of the cashier? What would they say if he had bought condoms (off for a shag tonight??)/ incontinence pants (can't stop shitting in your pants??). I really don't think that sales assistant should pass any comment.

AIBU????

I had this with both of my pregancies and the one woman proceeded to tell me how much labour hurts and horror stories of third degree tears etc. I did want to be pregnant though so answering didnt worry me.

I used to do a weekly shop for an old pensioner when I did home help and I always ended up with the same bloody cashier commenting on everything 'ooh battenburg- havent had that in yeeeeaars' at first it was funny but then it drove me insane.

It was inappropriate, but not worth worrying about.

Very sorry about your miscarriage though.

Hope things happen soon for you.

I think they should pick another item to comment on than the pregnancy test, a lot of people may be uncomfy with that, i would be quite suprised if a shop keeper commented on it to me it really doesn't seem like the "done thing" if they want to make conversation should chose something else

Sorry but I think you are being unreasonable.

He was making small talk.

basically asking a stranger about whether they are pregnant or not, or if htey want to be is not small talk
