    At least you didn't get the customers my brother did a few years ago. They bought:

    - Peach Schnapps
    - Vaseline
    - a plunger
    - cucumbers

    And the most disturbing of it all? A pineapple.
    I really don't want to know.....

    I'm not a fan of buying "feminine hygiene" products every month, so I'm known to stock up randomly, whether or not it's that time of the month. I also have a sad, sad addiction to M&M's. So I've gone through the checkout before with 4 boxes of tampons and a 1lb bag of M&M's. I think I was in sweats once too... I'm sure I terrified that poor cashier. Sorry if that was TMI for anyone.
    It's ok I've seen people buy condoms and candy at the same time before. Usually I just try to think it's something innocent just to avoid having to grab the


    Now one TMI for me was when I was working in the Pharmacy and was about to ring up a script when I saw what it was. Th guy was getting Viagra! >_< After he left I showed it to the other cashier and she was all "TMI!!!!!".

    Sometimes you just wish you didn't know.

      One time this old woman came into our store....she had hot pink hair (wtf?) and was dressed in a skimpy outfit. she was overly cheerful saying she had a date tonight and wanted to know where the lube was. +no:+=

        I've been known to wander around with either a kitty ear headband (common), or a cheap costume tiara (rarely). Makes a lot of people smile.
        Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.

            I've done that too, with the ears. Sometimes a tail. (Might as well, I have enough of them around.)

            I once got the funniest look from a cashier at a 24 hour grocery store. It was about 2 am and I bought pickled artichokes, beets, and chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

            Hey, it was what I was in the mood for, okay? I didn't pour them into the same bowl!

              I had a strange one the other day.

              Girl of about 12-14 comes up to the deli counter and hands over a small note written on the corner of a envelope. Fine £5 of certain ham which we didn't have, so I suggest Other ham and look at the girl for conformation. All I get is a very small nod, do the usual things to which everything get the same small nod and goes away with ham leaving me wondering if the girl could speak.

              That I'm sensible and sane
              The Random Hedgehog comes along
              And fiddles with my Brain

                I had a bride and groom come through my line the other day and buy something totally ordinary, not last-minute wedding stuff or anything. Don't remember the 2nd item, but the first was a magazine. I thought, "Shouldn't you be at an altar or on your honeynoon?"

                  In this economy?! That magazine was the honeymoon. I'm sure it's all they could afford. Did you remember to give them their tanked-economy discount?

                    If I had actually bought the stuff my mother wanted once at the store -- there'd be people terrified.... her list?

                    Something like:
                    KY Jelly
                    Green Onions
                    Cream Cheese
                    Diapers
                    Dog Collar+Leash
                    Canned dog food (that resembles human food)
                    Whipped Cream
                    Marshmallow Cream

                    My mind went somewhere really, really quick -- and I said "eh, don't think so." The things are the list were for like 6 different things.... but together.... I got the stuff shy of the KY Jelly stuff (amazing how innocent it looks when that's taken off )
