"I don't care, that'll be $14.75."

[Hon'ya-chan]

So this customer comes up with some Kids books, and a Pocket Kama Sutra Guide.

Customer: "Kinda a weird combination there, huh?"
Me: "Not my concern, that'll be $14.75."

This always happens at least once a week. I don't care what your purchasing, and I don't wanna know your damn personal life!!

I've had my share of, er, "interesting" book combinations, but I've never ever felt the need to comment or know what the customer was thinking. (Just in case...)

Like the old lady buying Metamucil at the Drug Store From Hell. She came up to my counter, plunked down the canister and announced in a loud voice, "I really need this stuff, I'm having so much trouble with my BOWELS!" Do I look like your doctor?! Yes, I know what Metamucil is used for, I don't care why you're buying it, I'll sell it to you without the TMI factor, thank you!

Not that surprising to me. Kama sutra is all about nifty ways to have sex, right? And what happens when you have sex? Kids.

When it's being bought by a guy? Had that happen on a few occasions with Playboy and kids books.

And howabout if they had children? The above scenario was with parents, with kids in tow.

Heh, my boyfriend and I have a rather broad taste in movies. From Disney to porn.... He jokes that one day the cops are going to show up because his video rental history is four porn and Charlotte's Web. :P Sometimes people just have broad taste.

If you feel really evil, you can just shoot back a mournfull "yeah, now I'll have to warn the child abuse investigation office again..."

Where do you guys rent movies? I haven't seen any video stores since the 90's that even had an adult area... and that store wasn't a big chain store, either.

Amen to that sister (or is it brother?)!

Like the old bat that told me she needed a one-piece swimsuit with an underwire....and then proceeded to tell me about her big, old, wrinkly boobs! There's not enough to make that right!

[GayleShy]

I had a girl come through my line buying KY jelly and she was swearing up and down that it wasn't hers and she wasn't having sex. I hadn't even looked at the KY yet and wasn't about to say anything when I did.

On the flip side, some cashiers do feel the need to comment on the purchases. At a meeting a Wal-Mart, a CSM had to address the fact that a cashier teased a customer about his condoms and he told to CSM about it. She said he was not sucky, just embarrassed.

Two wierd combonatins come to mind.

One was buying C.S. Lewis and bondage books at the same time.

Another was buying Ayn Rand and Noam Chomsky. I made sure to tell her to keep them in seperate bags or something bad would happen to the universe, space-time wise.

Go them! Way to keep the kids entertained for a few hours while the parents work on their relationship in private with some "new material".

http://www.moviemadnessvideo.com/ Movie Madness is the place I go when I don't go to BlockBuster, since they pretty much have every single movie in existence, and will find it if they don't have, just to rent to you.

They got a big porn section. They also have another section for anime porn.

The one thing I don't do, is rent really really old and/or really rare movies, since they ask for a deposit of 100 bucks.
