While I was redlining (standing outside my register waiting for a customer), a woman comes up to me and asks that question that makes clearly uniformed cashiers wonder...
Woman: Excuse me, do you work here? (*thinks* No, I'm just wearing this uniform and standing by a register for fun)
Me: Yes.
Woman: Do you know if the *frozen food brand* pot pies are part of the $1.66 sale or is it just the entrees? There's no signs anywhere (this I can see since it was the last day for current sales and somebody before her said that also).
Me (I wasn't completely sure since iirc the ad just said entrees and I didn't want to give a definitive answer and have her bitch if I was wrong): I'm not really sure. If you ask at customer service they should know.
Woman: Well can't you just tell me? I don't have time to go there I have a cartful of stuff over there.
Me: *thinks No I can't since I don't know for sure* I can call someone from the department and ask them.
Woman: No I'll just go and get them and check the price. *walks off in a huff*
She comes back a few minutes later with a few of her precious pot pies. She sees me on a register scanning an order this time.
Woman: They told me there was a test scanner over here. I don't see it. Where is it? (Our test scanner is actually a standard register in front of the manager's podium where you scan items just like you would on the U-Scan).
Me: *points to it* It's just to your left. Just find the barcode and place it on the scanner.
Woman: How do I use this thing?? *struggles to find Can you come here and do it for me?
I was about to go there to do it for her but luckily a cashier who didn't have anybody was there and did it for her.
Then a couple minutes later she's on my line. She says she wants paper and plastic and I better have them ready for her and that she has to pack pretty light because she's walking. She only had about maybe 20 items, and she used *5* paper bags for them plus took an extra one incase any of them broke. None of them were that heavy. There were two things at the end that she grabbed a plastic bag for to place them in and then said I need a paper bag for those too!! The items were a 6 pack of pudding and a package of cookies. She also had reusable bags that she had on her that she was loading the paper bags into and spent about 20 minutes arranging them and complaining to someone on the phone that she needs him to come help her and that she still has to go to another store to get her prescription.

Granted, it may be FDA-approved, but consider that they also have terms like "maximum allowable level of [nasty contaminant]", too...If you see that phrase, the maximum is something other than zero >_<
Even though I now mostly go in in dress clothing (because that is what I wear to my job).
