Tell me about it. Sucks worse for introverts though. Tonight I was at register, and had a non-stop line of customers for three hours straight. As soon as the last one was finally gone, I demanded my break and hid in the upstairs portion of the stockroom before I had a meltdown.

But then you have those people who are just DRIVEN to tell you their life story, and it doesn't matter HOW many cues they get to move the hell on! People behind them are inching forward, trying to put their things on the register, and I'm not quite close enough to grab and ring, and they just stand there talking and talking. I can't be the rude one, so I just keep hoping the person behind them says what I can't.

Usually people do that to the ones they find cute because they are hoping they'll find some common ground so that things can go beyond just a casual conversation and bleed into getting your number or a date to go hook up.

Lmao, luckily I've never ever had that problem when I worked in retail because I worked 3rd shift so usually I dealt with one of three kinds of people. Drunk as hell and just needing some food to try and sober up, tired people who just got off work and needed stuff before going home, or people on their way to work who just needed cigarettes. Either way they stayed like...3 mins or so?

I would be even more depressed if I had to be at work during those hours. At least when I'm at home I can distract myself with things like this.

It was my escape because when I had to be out and about there was hardly anyone else out so I loved it.

Why don't more people shop like this?!
I go down a good number of aisles... but I'm efficient and get what I need before leaving. I only say a few things to the clerk if situation provides to make their job a little better.

Only time I take forever to shop is if I go somewhere hungry, because then everything looks good and I don't know what I want to eat xD

I'm not because I'm weighing out how long each item would take to cook and if it'd be enough to fill me up xD
