This is not helping my stress level at all
Not that I would ever duck out of work for an emergency Target run, but if I did, here's what I would say.
Dear Target Checker Marcia,
This is a store, not your dimwitted social club. Hey, look at that, the woman ahead of me is hugely pregnant. I bet she's not tired of talking about it, oh no. I bet she loves hearing you say she looks like she's going to deliver on the spot even though she's 5 weeks from her due date. No really, she loves hearing that your sister in law is due today. Truly, that's fascinating stuff.
And you bet I loved it when you tried to drag me into your moronic conversation. Oh wait, when I nearly growled at you and turned back to my cart, did that make you start ringing things up again? No? Well, next time I'll have to just jump across the checkout lane and make my point a little more emphatically.
XOXOXO,
Erika
Exactly why I love stores that allow you to ring up your own order. I know I should be pissed abt the free labor, but I am so much more efficient and I hate making small talk.

I get down on my knees and give thanks to the self check-out gods. So much easier.

Bad day, are we?
I guess that's the difference between working moms and stay-home moms. I'm so hungry for adult conversation that I'm always HOPING to get a friendly cashier who'll engage me.
I have been growling a lot too….and I am a sahm….I have a schedule and so don't mess with me.
I think I am pms'ing

I'm with all the pro-self-check-out-ers. Not only do I not have to make small talk about a) how beautiful my daughter's red hair is or b) how I'm busy with 2 in 23 months, but I can usually sneak some coupons through that normally wouldn't be taken.
Unlike last week at Target when the cashier wanted to give me back 1 of my 2 Tide coupons. When I was buying 2 bottles of Tide. I think I might have been more snarly than was warranted when I said that I had 2 bottles and therefore I got to use 2 coupons.
Now if I could just get my Target to actually have self-checkout, we'd be all set.

Err, I hate that. Yes, I like them to be pleasant, have a nice exchange of "good afternoons" but after that, shut up and get me out of there. And NEVER, EVER comment on what I am buying.

I do like the self-checkouts in our local discount store. I use them whenever I can.
