    The stick is a universal if you have a cart of groceries, we all need the stick in those times to guide us. The thing that gets me is when I put a hand basket on the belt and the person in front of me gives me the stink eye and slaps the stick between their loose groceries and my contained and obviously separate basket of groceries like I was trying to trick them to pay for my stuff. It’s not just white or old people, though, being a douche is a human quality, not a racial or generational thing.

      I thought basket of groceries on the belt was a social faux pas?

      Because then the check out people can’t plan their bagging of heavy / light?

        It’s a hand basket, there are at most two bags worth of stuff in it. If you’ve got a bunch of heavy shit that needs separated then you’re doing it wrong.

      I always empty my basket onto the conveyor. Seems rude of me to assume the cashier should reach over and into a basket just to ring up my goods. Do you also make them unload your buggy when you use those?
