So there I was at the grocery store with Annabelle...

Never use the self check-outs. They're just trying to put yet another minimum wage employee on the street. Just go to the shortest line. Never have a problem.

I totally agree with you chef, my reason exactly for using the check out clerk. Few enough jobs for the low imcomers.

Hehe..."Put your ULTRA-THIN RIBBED CONDOMS in the bag!"

Frankly, I think that "Put your DEPENDS in the bag" might prove a bit more embarrassing.

Incontinence pads embarrass you more than condoms, Markus? hehehe...you're showing your age, matey..

Well, I confess that I used to be embarrassed buying condoms... but then I turned 16.

The Safeway stores here adopted a rather obnoxious customer service plan a while back that required that each checkout clerk address the customer by name whenever possible.

That's a chain-wide problem. They want to be the Nordstrom's of grocers.
