Nope. You just walk up to the scan thing and press start, then scan all the barcodes, and select your method of payment...and you can use credit debit or cash. It's actually pretty fun and empowering...in a way.
Can you honestly say you would feel no guilt standing there scratching your nutz while a little 100 pound girl struggles with your bags? On a serious note, I think you can ask every male in this thread if he would feel awkward about the scenerio. whether he helps or not is not relevant to having the feeling. The feeling is a by-product of living in this direct society and that same feeling is important for that same reason. Its a connection to said soceity.
I'll stick to the good old fashioned method...hey..I'm an old fashioned kinda guy deep downPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! No, that feeling isn't a product of our society. On the contrary, not having any such feelings would be a product of current socciological trends. I would, and do feel rather un comfortable standin gthere as someone (regardless of gender) packs my stuff. Hence I always help out, it's a habbit...what can I say...I'm a helpful kinda guy...an old fashioned, helpful kinda guy. Furthermore,if the bagperson happens to be a female, then helpng out is not such a bad thing...chivalry isn't dead you know.
I have no problems helping out. Yes it's their job, but how often do you need help with your own job? It's not like we are all super-human once we enter the office. If the girl seriously can't lift a gallon of milk by herself, I bet she will either 1)get stronger over time and practice or 2)find another job, after 90% of her customers are helping her do what she's being paid to do. I'm sure there is a clean-up guy who has more upper-body strength who she could trade positions with.
if she can't lift a gallon of milk she can't have breakfast!!! are you kidding me? is this even an issue?? i don't have any "nutz" to scratch you dillhole. i'm the little girl packing up your shit. anyone with arms can lift a gallon of milk. is it an armless girl who is pakcing your groceries? cause man that's messed up having an armless girl pack your shit.
lol, how do you even know she drinks milk?. SwedeFish, lets recap your "points" Feeling awkward when you are a man who watches a much smaller woman do manual labor thats for your benefit makes you an "chauvinist" betch One cannot look deeper into the reasons for reactionay emotions and the connections between them. Its enough to just have gut reactions. Unless sympathy is appreciated it is useless Having antipathy to the concept of society is a must Everybody who does not share the same antipathy is a conformist Anybody that has any feelings of compassion for other memembers of society si a "touch feely dillhole" Do you see why you are complety bonkers yet? Until you can form even such a simple bond to other members of the society as feeling guilt over a little woman doing manual labor for you(as it contradicts hundreds of years of ingrained societal behavoir instilled in males) your arguments will remain garbage and be attacked at there core levels by me as their are now. read you paragraph Swede, think of how reactionary it is, instead of even attempting to dwelve into deep societal issues you remain on such fukking shallow things "its her choice to work, it's my choice to be there, you cant have apathy". Esoteric does not even have the time to do this, go fukk off into a community college you brain dead cunt and let a proffesor explain these things to you. You need fukkin help.
Why dont you ask her if she wants a hand if you want to give one? And if you dont want to give one in the first plac ethen why are you so het up about it? Just dont.
whoa dude, not a single one of those "points" belonged to me. check usernames before replying. let's recap on which of us is bonkers. my only point was that only people without arms can't carry milk jugs. any freshman girls gym class starts on 25lb weights. grocery bags don't weigh more than 25lbs. it's not challenging to the arm-ed to pack groceries.
I would go over and grab the milk jug and start curling it several times while subtlely trying to get her to focus on my bulging biceps.Then I would say "Thats right baby,I got another one just like it over here" *Then give a wink and a flashy smile for added effect* Then I would get her phone # and proceed to sign autographs for all the customers outside. What are we talking about again? :bugeye: Oh yeah ,my bulging biceps.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Well, being a female cashier I still have to pack all the groceries, plus the shit that little fuckheads leave in the cart because its too bloody heavy, but that I still have to lift out, and scan and then put back into the cart, thereby breaking my back. And the male cashiers do the same thing as do the female and male "pack boys." It's our job we get paid for it, and it would piss me off if someone took pity on me just cause I'm a girl. I'm jsut as strong as any of the guys working at my store, if not stronger. And a better packer. So if you have a problem with it, pack your own!! "struggling with a gallon of milk"-please!
Where do you work? So I can wear my muscle shirt and proceed to act on my aforementioned plot. *flexes arm* Oh yeah baby!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
When I applied for the prestigious position of bagger a long time ago one of the questions was "Can you lift an object of up to 50 lbs?" Answer yes and you're in. There is absolutely nothing in a grocery store that I can think of that is 50 lbs. Dog food doesn't even come close. They just give that number like they do for the cautionary speed limits, you know, the yellow ones that tell you how fast you should go around a turn. When turning at the suggested 25 mph I feel like a turtle. It's there for people with bad tired, bad suspension, are blind, etc, etc just like the 50 lbs question is for the people that are unsure if they can lift 50 lbs or not. Sorry if this is a little hard to read. I typed kinda fast. Gotta take a piss.
well its not a problem here all the bags are on the OTHER side of the counter so the check-out chick/guys have an easier time with them so no i have never felt bad about leting a check out person pack my shopping for me
That person is ALWAYS a girl around here and every other place I've been to. If I saw a guy doing that job I'd laugh my ass off at him and tell him to get his act together. And I don't give a damn if she struggles with my bags, I can honestly say that doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. In fact, if she takes too long I like to grab her by the hair and cram her face into a bucket of icecream that I previously opened for that purpose. Ok thats not truePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I wish it was.
