  • Your dip isn't that precious...

    Ok, title might seem a bit confusing, but it'll make sense,


    So I'm at the grocery store picking up a few things (Milk, Soda, Chips, Newspaper). I walk up to the express lane and there's 2 guys in front of me, the 1st guy is already paying and the second guy is just standing there at the back end of the belt. However, there isn't anything ON the belt. So I step to the side of him and put my stuff down.

    This is when he reaches over and grabs a divider, places it in front of my stuff and places down, and single item. A small plastic package of onion dip (for chips).

    The line moves forward, and it's now his turn, however, his item isn't on the belt. You see, he picked it back up, to hold in his hand until he got to the cashier.

    So, of course, the cashier removes the plastic divider, since that's the next thing she sees on the belt, and THEN he speaks up and hands her the dip he is holding in his hand.

    She scans it... and then reaches for the next thing, and starts scanning through my groceries...on his bill... Luckily she only scanned one item before I was able to politely speak up, but the guy barks with a snotty tone "NO, just this is mine, not that".

    She voided my item out, and carried on, but the only thing I could think was:

    "WTF, if you just kept your ONE item on the belt like you're SUPPOSE to do, you wouldn't have confused her, and wasted everyone's time. Your onion dip is not so precious that it has to be hand held from the time you get it off the shelf, to the time you get it home. JUST PUT IT ON THE DAMN BELT!"

      lol, best part is, it was just the small size of the store brand dip the deli makes...

      Personally, I've always preferred the onion dip that comes in the little paper packet, that you have to mix with an entire jar of Sour Cream to make

        People used to do that to me all the time when i worked in a grocery store. It's like they want to confuse you so they have a reason to yell at you.
        Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

                  "Taters" is US Southern for "potatoes."

                      I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT.

                      The only thing worse is when they don't get the concept of how the belt works. That used to irk me SO BAD.

                      I refused to turn it off, I would let them keep pushing the stuff back and see how long it would take them to catch on. Sadly, way too many didn't. I would have to tell them to just let it go....it WILL stop when it gets to the end! Baffled me, this is NOT a new concept!
