Pet Peeve Questions.

[Kiwi]

I remember buying condoms once, we happened to be buying some other items at the same time including a pair of socks

the cashier put the condoms UNDERNEATH the socks to hide them and turned brilliant red

k and I just looked at each other and raised our eyebrows.... if your working as a cashier you need to be ready for customers to buy pretty much anything

If you're embarassed to buy condoms, you shouldn't be having sex.

When Boots The Chemists first started selling condoms way back when they were amongst the first stores to sell them on open display.(ie not behind the counter).

Was this a forethought by management?

Was it an aggresive selling policy?

Nope.

It was to prevent embarassment to the staff so they didn't have to do repeat sales at the counter!

This.

Also, one time my sister and her boyfriend went to a 24/hours place to buy condoms and other things, and after a certain time they lock up condoms/razors/things of that nature, to reduce theft. You have to ask the pharmacist to get you condoms.

The lady glared at my sister and her boyfriend, and begrudgingly helped them when they told her what she wanted.

Let me tell you that my sister and her boyfriend are both in their 20's, and how annoying that must've been.

I used to have people have to ask for condoms through the transaction drawer, and I could never hear people properly, so they usually had to repeat it a couple times. Had one guy say "I have a weird question for you..." Then he proceeded to ask for condoms. Don't get how it was weird. I did always feel strange saying "have a good night" when they did ask though. :P

The question I hated the most at the gas station was when people would walk around the store, find no bathroom door outside (we didn't have a bathroom outside) And then would come to the window, not before yanking on the door with the giant sign saying that the doors were locked, and ask for the key to the bathroom, or ask where the bathroom was. Or ask for tissue....to go behind the store.

There are 3 questions that just bug me when people ask. This sonofabitch asked all three.

1: Dude comes up, hands me his ID, and whispers "I need a pack of condoms..."
ME: *growling inwards*
"No legal age for condoms dude, not an age restricted product. They are also in medicine aisle.

2: He comes back, pays for them, then asks pet peeve question 2:
"Err, can I buy another thing?"

Plaidman swears. One of these days he'll answer "No sir/ma'am. You bought your alloted items. Come back after 24 hours to resume shopping...."

Plaidman really answers:
ME: *shrugs* "Umm yeah go ahead man"

Man is looking at candy. Looking at children candy. Back to other candy. Back to children candy.

Me: "??? What kind of candy are you looking for?"

Man: Yeah where are the Tums or rolaids?"

ME thinking: *What is WITH people thinking we have medicene mixed in with kids suckers and lollipops?*
"Medicine Aisle... below the condoms" is my answer.

So yeah. Strange questions. But I hate it when people ask.
