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

[XCashier]

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

Sister.

Honestly, I don't care what the customer is buying, even if he or she comes to my counter with a box of condoms, AstroGlide, extra-large cucumbers, toy handcuffs, Redi-Whip and chocolate sauce, I'll just ring it up without comment, other than the usual, "Thank you for shopping here, have a nice day" gab. I don't need any explanations, as long as your payment is legit, I'm fine with it.

Thats what I find funny. I figure that after enough time doing the kinds of jobs that we do, we are so freaken jaded that it takes a lot to set off our what the fuck sensors on what it is they are buying/having made/etc.

For example, remember part of my business is a copyshop, and we do work for attorneys, including criminal defense attorneys. I've seen just about everything imaginable come my way. Everything from Nude adults, to full on Homicide Crime Scene photos. It just doesn't bother me anymore. The nice thing though, is the clients who send us the real graphic stuff will warn us that its pretty bad. When we still had employee's this was my que to run it myself if the girls were back on the machines (highschool age or just out of highschool girls), I always figured that I didn't want to be the one to fuck up their innocence on something like this. But after enough years, it's just another job, you stop looking at what the actual image is and you just regard it as any other printed piece of paper.

[Sonoma]

aw come on, you felt the need to share that inducing mental image with the rest of us? you evil evil person. for shame.

for everyone!!

Probably the one odd purchase I made as a customer that stood out in my mind was when I was about 18 and buying some music cassettes. At a grocery store. (Hey, they were cheap!) And the cassettes in question were The Mamas and the Papas....and Black Sabbath. Clerk looked at me quizzically. "Yep...they're both for me!"

Though I recently had another amusing one. The owner of The Bar that RW and I work at is semi-well known, and has written some motivational books. I really don't bother with those normally, but on my recent mini-vacation, while book shopping, I came across one of these on the bargain rack for only five bucks. I just HAD to buy it. And then the clerk made the mistake of asking, as I approached the register, "So, what do you have today?" Me, as I unload my selected books: "Serial killer, serial killer, serial killer, my boss, serial killer, serial killer." He laughed.

But after enough years, it's just another job, you stop looking at what the actual image is and you just regard it as any other printed piece of paper.

In many lines of work, this holds true. That is why many of my male friends were shocked when I didn't think it was that big of a deal to be DJing in a strip club. Yes, I love the female body, but after a while, to be honest, seeing those girls naked was just about the same as seeing any other coworker at any other job in their uniform. Oftentimes it was more stimulating to me to see them out of work in non-stripper outfits. Also why my friend the body painter is pretty much nonplussed by naked women at this point in his life, with very few exceptions.

Does anyone else find it ironic to say, "Have a good night." to someone buying condoms and possibly lube on a Friday night? Working at a pharmacy, I dealt with that a lot. Interesting part was I had a lot of OLD people buying condoms and lube.

[aurelemsrealm]

I notice, but I don't care. Like I've told customers before if they start to act nervous or go into excessive details, "It's your money to do with as you please. I just work here."

At my old store, one of the guys from Best Buy came in and bought some condoms.

I said to him, "I'd tell you to have a good night, but I know you are already planning to."

He blushed. I felt bad.

Took the words right out of my...mouth? Fingers?

Hey, I actually had to see her! I still haven't gotten the image out of my head. I think I might need therapy.

Sister.

Honestly, I don't care what the customer is buying

Alrighty then, sister! Exactly! AND I don't need a whole itinerary of your plans. Had a lady today that kept informing me of what she was doing, even letting me know that she was going to the bathroom (but she would be back!) because she just couldn't wait. Hey, lady, I. Don't. CARE!!!

To quote the infamous Aussie comedian Rodney Rude:

Me grandfather and me grandmother were going to have a root.
Grandfather says, "wait a minute, I'll go get a condom"
Grandmother says, "don't be silly, you don't need a condom, I'm too old to get pregnant."
Grandfather says, "I know that, but when my cock gets wet, I get arthritis"

Ironic? Not at all. You are wishing them well in their endeavours.

Ironic would be if you said "have a good night" to someone who had just purchased a coffin or mortuary plot. Saying it to someone buying sexual items is not ironic, though it MIGHT be redundant!

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Hey, there are guys who blush? How cute.

I'd offer to take up a collection for your therapy, but I need it first.

[Broomjockey]

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Yes, my female co-workers at my last job took great delight in trying to make me blush. They had some very inappropriate conversations at my expense

[EclipseDragon986]

I don't have any unusual purchases, I only work at an electronics store and not the fun kind. I have however, noticed that my sense of smell is far more developed than my coworkers. And usually I discover this exactly when I don't want to.

Sometimes I think I'm the only clean person left on earth.

As for condoms, when I buy them, I put them down and do my best to ignore them and everyone around me. They're necessary but it's still damn embarassing.

Ooooh, sounds like fun. Too bad I couldn't have joined in.

[Amethyst Hunter]

I've had several customers at my last job purchase the following:

- Several tubes of personal lubricant
- One VERY LARGE, suspiciously-shaped gourd-type vegetable.

Let your mind wander where it will.
