At a lot of department stores, cashiers prefer when customers take their items out of the basket instead of just throwing the basket up on the counter. However, at my store, it’s easier and faster for us to just take the whole basket from the customer.





So I get a lot of:





Me: “How are you?”

C: *pulls one single item out of the basket and sets it on the counter* “how much is this?”

Me: *beep* “$12.75”

C: “And this one” *hands me one item*

Me: *states price*

C: “……And this one”

And this continues for the rest of the transaction. When they approach, I don’t know if they have three items or forty until they eventually just stop placing items on the counter. I don’t mind checking prices, but to do it for EVERY SINGLE ONE when each item is VERY CLEARLY MARKED with the price is just…. a waste of time.
