People Are Posting The Things That Annoy Them The Most (50 Pics)

@PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING cashiers should be able to or should ask them to leave. .... PLEASE don't blame cashier. When I worked in grocery store we had 6 items of fewer lane that had three register in one full lane size so no belt. However people with full cart of groceries will come there. At first I used to ask them to go to other lane but there are several scenarios I stopped doing it. (*Scenario 1*) Customer will make fuss...manager comes over and make you do the transaction anyways. Now you look like you some lazy a**e that doesn’t want to do the job. Plus comments like “see that’s wasn’t that hard” kind of comments from that customer. (*Scenario 2*) I ask a customer to go to regular lane and point out its 6 or fewer lane and there are other customers with 6 or fewer items behind them. When next customer to the offending customer chimes in “oh its ok I don’t mind.” Now we cashiers look at the line getting longer and we don’t want scenario (*1*) to happen so we just do it. (*Scena

So this looks like an HEB (a Texas grocery store), and they will often have a manager or other employee monitoring the checkout lanes and directing customers to specific lanes for efficiency. A couple of times, I've had a manager direct me to an express lane even though I had more than 15 items (but it wasn't a whole cartload, mind). I usually say something like, "I know I have more than 15 items, and I don't mind waiting in the regular line," to which I get the response, "no, please, go ahead and move here. I'll bring your cart for you." They're pretty insistent. The last time this happened to me, I had probably 20ish items, and a lady with like 5 things got behind me (I like to think her name is Barbara or something). Anyway, she started pitching a fit to me, and I tried to make it clear that I did not make this decision, and if she had been there before my things had started being scanned, I would've gladly let her go before me. I helped the bagger and did everything as quickly as I could, trying to be considerate of her time. Nevertheless, this interaction ended with me thanking her for her patience (which she didn't actually have), and her giving me an eye roll. My point is, you don't know that it's really their fault or if the manager of the store put them there to alleviate stress on other lines.

I work at a grocery store... I try to make sure this doesn't happen

I will say at Publix, if the cashier in these lanes aren't checking out a customer, they will pull a person over that's waiting for the regular checkout so customers do not get backed up. But when they do that and someone comes behind me with only a few items..I let them cut ahead of me.

I sometimes say out loud (in an unassuming voice, of course)."Oh, I thought this was the 10 items or less line.""

I worked at a grocery store. Believe it pisses us off too but we aren't allowed to refuse them.

When I was working at the local grocery store how many times did I want to so bad push the reverse button but I didn’t have one

Let's be kind and assume this person doesn't know how to count to 16.

Rules must be respected, so that the world would be a better place for all. I always let go ahead when someone has few items, even if I'm entitled to be served with priority.

Can he not refuse to serve him in that line? You can in England

Cashier should refuse to serve. When this happens to me I just pushin front of them.

In all fairness, if a cashier has not been busy for some time, the cashier may take someone with a larger order because it doesn't make sense to just stand there while other lanes are getting longer and longer. Often, the store manager encourages the cashiers to do this, and will actually direct customers to the line. It's more embarrassing to the customer when the other lanes die down, and after being encouraged to come to the express line and the managers have disappeared, there the person is with 30 items on the express lane!

I work nights and stop at Walmart late at night a lot (usually the only thing open) and I've noticed that they always have ONLY the "express" lane open. The first 1 or 2 times of experiencing this, I looked at the cashier a little confused and stated that I have more than 15 items at which point they just say "oh it's ok, you have to use this lane" so blame Walmart for getting people used to the idea that it's "ok" to use the express lane even if you have more than the stated number of items. F@#king Walmart....

I start counting loudly, when I see someone with too many items. Doesn't always work, but sometimes.......

If I have a bunch of items and I see someone behind me with only one item I'll let them go before me. Especially if it's during a working persons lunch hour.

Don't always blame the person. We're often waved over by the cashier with our full cart to the express line if the store isn't busy and it never fails that someone with 2 items comes up behind us and then gives us the 'look' like we're a******s.

The clerks aren't allowed to turn the a******s away :(

When the cashier says it's slow so come on over to the express lane, so you load up the conveyor, THEN three people show up with one item each.

i'll let about 5-7 extra items go but DAMN.... DOUBLE?? come on, DON'T be a DOUCHE!!

OR, when somebody shows up with a handful of items and stands before you with your TROLLEY full..and the express lane is just a few lanes over but IT happens to have a few people waiting..if we're not suppose to take our trolleys through the express then you shouldn't take your express through our lanes..

Expressholes!!

I had heard 2 things. one in the USA they charge a dollar extra for each item over the express lane limit/. the other was the cashier asked the person which 8 of the lot did they want to keep/buy..
