The following conversation took place this afternoon at my local Walgreens.
Me (going up to the cash register with a fleece blanket [for 8 bucks!!], Cheez-Its, a birthday card for the husband, and a box of feminine products): Hi.
Female Cashier: Hi, how are you today?
Me: Fine, how are you?
FC (begins scanning my purchases): Good, thanks. Did you find everything you were looking for?
Me (getting debit card out of wallet): Yes.
FC: Would you like to buy a box of cookies?
Me: (looks up at Hershey something-or-other cookies on a display directly in front of my face)
FC: They’re two for 5 dollars and they go perfectly with this time of the month!
Me: (thinking) No…no thanks.
FC: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah. No thanks.
(sales transaction resumes)
Was there ever any doubt? Chocolate goes perfectly with my PMS. The Walgreens lady said so.

Chocolate is good… anytime.
I hate it when cashiers make comments about what I’m buying. It’s one of my pet peeves. Just sell me my items and don’t say anything about it! :p
You know, just reading what the cashier said torqued me. That’s a rude assumption on her part. What if the tampons weren’t for you? Maybe I’m just in a bad mood.
Gah!! No she DID. NOT.
Her comment didn’t really embarrass me, but Kim’s right! What if they weren’t for me? (They were…but that’s beside the point.
) I mean, did she have to point out “this time of the month?” Ring up my purchase and let’s get on with it, pleasethankyouverymuch.
I seriously just spilled coffee on my keyboard. Sounds like we could all use some chocolate (I’ve never been to a Walgreens, is it like Walmart?)
Walgreens is a lot smaller than Wal-Mart. It’s more like a drug store.
