I happened to be buying cold medicine, kleenex, and hand lotion once and a clerk asked if I was in for a fun time tonight. Some people be trashy. That shit happened when I was like 19 though and was too embarrassed to respond. 20 years later and im gonna say something wild to embarrass us both cuz my give a fuck is all out.
Edit: also theres that one video that makes the rounds of that one clerk saying some wild shit to a dad about his daughter and buying feminine products.
When I was a young cashier I had a guy come up to buy condoms and he said to me, "ever use those?" I was like, 17f or so at this time, and I actually didn't even know what he was referring to at first because I'm just scanning and not taking inventory of his purchases. I didn't respond and he didn't say anything else.
But I worked as a cashier for 9 years and that was the only time. For condoms anyway.
I’d always laugh to myself when this happened because I was also 17/18 F and the guys buying condoms were usually college students from the university in town. As soon as they saw I was ringing them up, they’d inevitably get sheepish or standoffish. I’d ask if they wanted a bag (as is the custom when someone is purchasing just one item) and their receipt. They’d always answer “NO!” to both and bolt out of there, sometimes even forgetting their change. Not even a courtesy thank you. LOL
I never understood why they got all weird about it. I didn’t treat them any differently whether they were buying a hammer, a candy bar, condoms, or any other Walmart-supplied item. If anything, wouldn’t they think I’d think they’re a stud because they’re having sex and being responsible about it? 🤷🏻♀️
It's funny because I think a lot of people have that fear early on, that a cashier will say something embarrassing to someone buying condoms or lube. But eventually you realize something very important: cashiers are dead inside, they barely notice your existence, they aren't about to say something (to your face) that's going to start drama they really don't want to deal with
I can't even imagine being aware a stranger was on her period and even thinking about her sex life, but I also can't imagine imagining this conversation and thinking I sound quippy.
I’ve never heard about this; I can’t of course speak for everybody but this has never been a problem for me personally. I tried googling and found nothing. (Of course there might be some irritation if someone had worn just a tampon all day since you’re supposed to swap them every couple of hours, but I assume that wasn’t what you meant.)
Guess you haven't heard of fanny burn.
I've been married 10 years mate, when my wife doesn't want to have sex she's more than happy to just say. It's sad if some women feel the need to concoct a reason rather than just be honest
If your wife says she's irritated down there after wearing a tampon or even pads, she might be allergic to the products. I've had reactions and only realised that kind of dry itch wasn't normal in my 30s. I'm not sure which part I was allergic to but reusables and a cup fixed it.
You inferred that. I needed a 15 word title to be able to post. Lol. Even still, I think that implying something is trashy is a far cry from pearl clutching.
Besides, you can find something trashy and still find it funny too, they're not mutually exclusive. The fact it was funny was what made me post it.
I was with you until you tried to claim by stay classy you weren't calling it trashy. That's crazy, that is obviously what you meant. Weird to backtrack on that now, especially for something as dumb as reddit.
I didn't backtrack on anything. The statement I was making was that he inferred it, I implied it. See sentence 1 & 3. I'll admit could have been better arranged with sentence 2 in a different location.
My main point, though, was that I wasn't 'pearl clutching' about the subject matter in the post.
I am a little confused about the fact that this guy is getting upvoted, and we are getting downvoted, for pointing out the fact that this is obviously a very implausible story.
Yeah, idk either. "Be a dick and get upvotes" seems to be his thing, but I don't understand the reasoning for the downvotes when neither of us were being unpleasant. It's Reddit, though, it happens.
I’m hoping it’s not real. But then again I don’t know what’s worse, someone who would say such a thing out loud to a complete stranger in public, or someone who would make up a story like that and post it online and somehow think it paints them in a good light.
It sounds made up, but then again people these days have no shame and no filter.
I could see it. I had it happen once to me where I was buying a drug test to test my teenage son (many years ago). The CVS dude rung it up and said, "ooooh, someone's in trouble". I said, "Excuse me?! Do you think this is fun for me? Do you think it's part of your job to comment on my purchase? Be glad I don't get a manager." So I can absolutely see someone saying this just to embarrass the shit out of some nosey clerk.
I have a Dollar General very close to my house. I'm friendly with the workers because I go in there often. I once bought a pregnancy test. The cashier asked me, "OH is this for you? I didn't think you could get pregnant! This is exciting!"
I do not have or want kids...she knows the former but we have never discussed the latter. Idk if she said this because she assumed infertility is the reason I don't have kids, or if it was related to my age (I'm in my late 30s), but it was extremely awkward and just....so inappropriate.
Again, applying my favorite test of "how close have I ever come to experiencing something like this?", I have never had a cashier comment on my sexual activities in a check-out line. I mean, I am a guy and I don't buy menstrual products, so maybe I am missing something, but even a cashier mentioning me buying a food item that they like is a rare thing.
It is quite a few steps from "Oh yum, Holiday themed Little Debbie Bars" to "No sex while you are bleeding from your vagina"
That applies to almost every post in this community, though.
Maybe someone at Starbucks really did pray for the clerk when they said "Happy Holidays" and everyone clapped. That has never happened to me, but maybe it did happen to someone.
But the fact that something like this didn't even come close to happening to me makes me doubtful if it happened.
I am a bit confused, whether they know what subreddit they are in.
And why us being skeptical of this story is somehow weird, when people here usually agree that "zingy one-liners in a checkout aisle" are things that do not, usually happen.

In my 30 odd years of purchasing feminine products, I have never EVER had a clerk comment on my sex life.
Same as I never made a comment when I was a cashier and guys came in to buy only condoms.
Either this never happened, or two trashy people just gravitated to each other in a conversational implosion.
Yeah like the first thing you learn is NOT TO SAY THINGS that aren't generic. You don't wanna have the wrong crowd for a good joke

Maybe the key is 30 even years
I have friends who would say this
yeah this one seems super believable to me
Why would the cashier even bring it up, though?
Ikr, it seems a normal thing to joke about with your bestie, but a cashier saying it to a random stranger?? Hell no
Just don’t go ass to mouth
You never go ass to mouth
I've been ass to mouth and nothing bad has ever happened to me.... yet...
The pussy is still there as long as you ain’t a pussy.
i envy the pussies themselves that aren't pussies during periods (mine cramps)
I read that the stimulation helps with cramps. But that could also be a Manmade myth.
Why did we both get down voted. I heard you're right but it's way too sore to even think about touching anywhere when im on my period
Yeah but if a tampon has been worn all day that can be unpleasant for the woman
The story is about pads.
I’ve never heard about this; I can’t of course speak for everybody but this has never been a problem for me personally. I tried googling and found nothing. (Of course there might be some irritation if someone had worn just a tampon all day since you’re supposed to swap them every couple of hours, but I assume that wasn’t what you meant.)
I'm guessing LongCharles is referring to toxic shock syndrome or something, but it's wholly unrelated to the post.
I am not a woman and my information is second hand.
And I agree with your original statement, I just thought some small print was needed.
What a novel excuse she gave you. Interesting. I'll have to remember that one.
Guess you haven't heard of fanny burn. I've been married 10 years mate, when my wife doesn't want to have sex she's more than happy to just say. It's sad if some women feel the need to concoct a reason rather than just be honest

Or maybe she's shoving in the XXL super tampon on lighter flow days lol
What...could this possibly mean?
‘At the checkout’ is just somewhere else that I never have anything clever to say. I’m beginning to sense a pattern.
When the red river flows take the dirt road!
Oh stop pearly clutching. This is funny.
Who's pearl clutching? I just doubt the convo happened.
It’s in your title. Inferring what she said was trashy…
Implying*
Inferring is what you're doing.
You inferred that. I needed a 15 word title to be able to post. Lol. Even still, I think that implying something is trashy is a far cry from pearl clutching.

The reactions are about the title, not if the post fits the sub
Yeah, idk either. "Be a dick and get upvotes" seems to be his thing, but I don't understand the reasoning for the downvotes when neither of us were being unpleasant. It's Reddit, though, it happens.
Why? There's literally nothing unusual about it. Shopkeeper was rude, she was rude back, that happens every day
meh not that unbelievable
Why is this on this sub? This is 100% believable.
I didnt believe that the conversation happened.
But why? Genuinely interested - what did you find unbelievable about it?
I’m hoping it’s not real. But then again I don’t know what’s worse, someone who would say such a thing out loud to a complete stranger in public, or someone who would make up a story like that and post it online and somehow think it paints them in a good light.

More like stay assy
100% believable.
I have coworkers who will tell their waiters "I want to suck start a shotgun" after a difficult day.
This reaction is mild
Pads kinda need underwear in order to work n I dont think you can do anal with underwear. Also youd still get blood everywhere

> It is quite a few steps from "Oh yum, Holiday themed Little Debbie Bars" to "No sex while you are bleeding from your vagina"
or...you're doing it wrong.
/drops mic
*claps*
It never happened to you so I guess it’s never happened to anyone else in history. Lol

The entire point of this community is that these are things that while they plausibly could happen, probably didn't.
Christ, you're unpleasant.

I’m staring to think they’re the bootyhole
