When sending mail like in the meme I get it what people could do wrong. You can prepare much there.
But how in the world is someone unprepared at a normal grocery store? I just lay my items down. Wait. Then the cashier scans, while scanning I take the items and put them into my Bag. Then I say that I want to pay with card, and I take out my card, hold it against the money-vanish-machine until it beeps and say goodbye. There is nothing to prepare. So what in the world could be unprepared for some customers? I'm actually curious. Are there idiots that like don't even place down the items or what xD
She calls it "Oh Shit I Have to Pay?” because that's the step that most people completely tune out. They'll put their items down, wait for the cashier to scan them, get everything bagged and then when the cashier says "that'll be XXX" people just snap out of it like they're dreaming and then fumble around to find their card. Like the step was completely unexpected. "Oh shit, I have to pay for all this?!"
How do people like that remember how to breathe?
Yeah as long as they're not refusing to move until all tickets are checked, more power to you.
well, see, right there's your problem
Oh so you just leave the shop while leaving your items behind?
I actually watched someone do that at the post office this past Saturday. But that was because they were having a hissy fit.
No, that was a failed /s comment where you're moving through the process quickly because you do that instead of just standing there. You know, like a normal person would /s
