The reason you don't see any comments from cashiers: We don't care.

I once bought a rope and a step stool. The cashier gave me this wierd look. I was going to hang a pinata.

>came here to laugh >"my sister was murdered in 2002."

Rope, woman thong panties, nail polish, spray paint and target bullets. the guy was in his mid 40's maybe and said "I promise these items are all for different nights"

how to make any purchase suspicious apparently: (random assortment of items) condoms

I once had a lady, stampede my store the second we opened (after she circulated the entrance for a good 15 min), she then rushed in. bought a pregnancy test, and ran out ...

*”buys something with condoms”* Cashier: Oh Yeah, It’s all Coming Together

this one lady who was a regular at our store walked in, it looked like she was in a hurry, she bought some clothes and a suit case, i never saw her again hope she's doing okay

Old lady bought a personal massager and 50 shades of grey

*when he kindly asks you for a discount pointing a gun at you.*

That man with $800 in robux cards.... I dont think those are for his daughter...

I love the "Idgaf" attitude of most cashiers. Like... Customer: *Places condoms, whipped cream, strawberries, flower vase, rope, and razors on counter* Cashier: *scans all items* your total is $56.89....thank you, Have a nice day.

Never forget the guy who bought a knife, an inflatable pool and a cart full of watermelons and pineapples. I like to think he was making the world's biggest fruit salad.

Not a cashier but a picker. Had a customer order 12 loaves of bread and anti diarrhoea pills

This reminds me of a challenge, where you had to buy only 3 items and try to make Walmart cashier as terrified or embarrassed as possible.

Someone (w/girlfriend) once bought from me: Condoms Captain America mask Captain America shield Captain America costume Bananas Set of trash bags Rubber bands. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Looking back, I probably would've made a joke if I put two and two together. Whatever floats her boat, right?

When my sister was in high school, she was working lighting and sound tech for the school play. The microphones were clipped under the costumes and were in danger of being sweat damaged, but some one figured condoms would protect the mics and make it more comfortable for the actors. So, my sister went to Target and bought a couple dozen boxes of condoms for the play.

Not retail, but: "Hi, I'd like 98 cheeseburgers, and one cheeseburger with no pickles."

Ok but real talk what grandmother buys a sex toy book for their granddaughter

This is why I use the self-scan at walmart I don’t wanna be judged

Man bought binoculars, a camera and a drone. Suspicious to say the least

11:10 uuuuuuuuh, I think that was me, I was in walmart buying $500 worth of steam gift cards for the vive vr, didn't realize that the vive is on a different cite rather than the actual steam store.

I always made sure to buy ziplock bags and gram scales separately. Before you ask, yes, they were being used for what you would think.

A surprising amount of people come to grocery stores to buy wine some comfort food and tissues. It's really easy to tell if it's just a night by themselves or they're going through something tough. I always try and treat the ones going through something tough very gently and kindly. They usually appreciate it.

I went to a hardware store to get some rope. Told the guy helping me that I needed at least six feet, triple-braid. He asked me what I needed the rope for and I simply told him that I was planning on tying a noose. I let him stew on it for a few seconds before further elaborating that it was for a Halloween costume I was making. That awkward pause and facial expression was priceless.

"noT a CAshIEr bUt..." "NoT A H hUMan BUt..."

I bought a surgeon mask, condoms, zip ties, rubber gloves, flex tape, trash bag and petroleum jelly with my mate to see what the cashier would say it was priceless

My most suspicious purchase was: Gorilla tape Black trash bags A head lamp Bungie rope And a large hunting knife Was just replacing used/damaged supplies from my hurricane/disaster kit and the knife just kinda caught my eye while I was shopping. Probably looked like I was about to go commit the un-alive on someone.

Buys bath tub plug and toaster: *Commits Toaster Bath*

_"my 6 year old cousin was murdered"_ *_*happy background music*_*

I went to Walmart once and send a guy in front of me by a bunch of stuff some of it I thought was extremely odd after leaving Walmart I happened to get behind the same exact guy in line at Lowe's I motion to the manager to call the police the manager was one of my former guardsman that I was in the state guard with this guy had bought the materials to make a high-yield explosive and when they searched his vehicle he had books on how to make it they went to his house found more stuff of how to make explosives and more equipment to make his explosives needless to say he was arrested immediately thankfully I was in the right place at the right time and remembered some of my State guard training for suspicious items to come through checkpoint this guy had damn near everything that was on the list that I could remember and I was about to have a freaking heart attack he had also went by Home Depot and Ace to purchase other items as not to have them all together from one store I was just grateful that I recognized the equipment he was getting the reason why I'm using the term equipment as I don't want to list the stuff to put the idea in young readers head

I went to Costco and this guy bought at least 30 boxes of goldfish and a bunch of bags of chicken nuggets. I hope that toddler’s not hungry anymore

One of these days, I'm going to get donuts, donut holes, and glue at Walmart just to see the reaction.

Have you ever just walked into a store to by a shovel, and nothing else? I have. The looks on their faces.

one time while walking to the cashier line in walmart some asian lady was waiting in line and i swear to god her cart was filled to the brim of pineapples. just pineapples, and even stacked it up in the area with the flap where you can put your child. the cashier just didnt ask any questions and for a long time ive still been trying to figure out why she needed so many.

r/askreddit What’s the most inhuman thing you have ever done Obligatory not a human but...

Just seeing this reminded me of the time I had to buy wine, condoms and rat poison. Mother in law had a problem with her attic and I was planning a romantic evening with the wife.

Here in Australia I work in a gun camping hunting etc store as a armour I sold box of 10mm and that day that guy shot him self still feel bad 😔

Buying sprite and jolly ranchers for my kids while picking up some prescription strength cough medicine doesn't look good in retrospect either. *Edit: it wasn't for my kids bc I don't have any, I was a dumb freshman going through stuff last year*

Fun hobby: Name two items that will freak out a cashier the most. My favorite: a pregnancy test and a single coat hanger

I had a guy buy 34 bags of Doritos, when asked about it I was told "I need it for.... reasons...."

6:27 That was me! It’s for my little bunny pal, I noticed you had a sale so I decided that was a good time to restock!

No joke, lady bought a jug of prune juice, a plunger and a sympathy card.

My SO likes cooking, but also watches shows like Criminal Minds. One day at the bookstore, she bought a book on cooking, and a book on cannibals/serial killers at the same time. Got some weird looks about that one.

I lost a bet and had to go to the register at the age of 13 with a cucumber and Vaseline

Once, as a handyman I was getting paid to do some home improvement for a ladies home. She needed her roof shingles cleaned, her new french door installed and the concrete that once made up the wall where her new french door sat, to the dump. So I went to the local Walmart and bought 12 or 15 gallons of bleach for the roof, an industrial sized roll of clear moisture barrier plastic for covering the french door to protect it from the elements, ducktape to seal the plastic, black trash bags for the debris and ratchet straps to keep it all on my trailer to haul off to the dump. When I checked out, the cashiers and their manager were absolutely mortified. It didn't click in my head that this looked REALLY bad until I checked it all out at once lol

I love the story of somebody hitting the deer and the image it gives me of the Uncle getting out of his car, walking up to the other person and just standing there in silence for a few seconds, looking slowly back-and-forth between the deer and the driver, then saying for no reason at all in a voice that sounds remarkably like Patrick from Spongebob “.....ya gonna eat that?”

Customer: *buys bath plug and toaster* Cashier: ... Are you okay? Customer: Yeah, I want to try my new bathbomb. *gestures vaguely at items on conveyor belt*

I like how most of them are customers

I had someone buy condoms, pregnancy test, handcuffs. It was in a Target

Once I bought 300 packs of lucifers, he gave me a strange look, and asked me about it. I said I was gonna make a dragon that breathes fire It was epic

One time somebody wanted to buy a gun but for some reason he kept yelling "GIMME THE MONEY FROM THE REGISTER" instead of letting me ring it up, he then proceeded to shoot me in the face and i died

this is one of my guilty pleasures.. i go shopping but in addition to the normal stuff i buy some odd stuff.. duct tape and rope go great with a shovel and some garden supplies..

Who tf accidentally runs over a deer and decides. "looks like we got dinner"

the 1st guy who bought the "suspicious" items is a real MAN

TTS: “I work as a cashier here in the U” Me: Huh? Is that like Miami or something? TTS: “...K”

1:25 A friend of mine had just dug an old single-shot shotgun out of his closet, passed down from his grandparents. We decided to take a few shots out of it in his backyard, but didn't have any shotshells. So I went to Academy (sporting goods store) with my other buddy Tom and we grabbed a couple of boxes of the cheapest shotshells they had along with a Monster energy drink (Tom was addicted to them). So the cashier is young -- about our age -- and relatively attractive. She's checking us out and offhandedly asks if we're going to go do some shooting/hunting. Tom, without missing a beat, looks at her with a straight face and says, "No, we're gonna kill a guy." The cashier, to her credit, wasn't the least bit fazed. She just glanced up at him with a dubious expression and said, "With *turkey loads*?" There was a brief moment of silence as neither me or Tom had expected this preppy-looking young cashier to be familiar with ammo. But Tom recovered and just gave her a wink with the remark, "I like a challenge." That got a chuckle out of her. Fast forward a few days later, Tom had recently purchased a brand new 1911 pistol. We go to the same Academy to grab a box or two of .45 ACP ammo to break the gun in. Lo and behold, we get the same cashier who definitely recognized us. Tom slapped the .45s down on the conveyor belt with a dejected sigh and said, "Yeah, you were right. The birdshot didn't work, so we're going to have to try this instead."

One time when we were going into the dollar store a guy walking out passed us with about 6-8 things of bleach and maybe 10 12 packs of Dr pepper.

I once bought over 32 pounds of oranges. Long story short, the greatest fear of physics majors is... scurvy.

The person with the celery bags probably has a bunch of Guinea pigs

Because I'm british it seems so weird for people to casually go to a supermarket to buy gun ammo. Edit: A lot of people are beginning to say that different states have different rules for guns so I looked it up... There are a lot of states that allow you to have guns but they have different rules. (don't quote me on that because I used Wikipedia). but some rules are odd. Like wtf is up with Wyoming, Iooked up loose gun laws and you don't need a permit, you don't need to hide ur gun, you can just carry it out in the open, and even if ur not a resident, you still don't need a permit. And here in Britain if you threaten someone with a nerf gun there is a chance the police will get called.

Friends forgot to buy cheese for the pizzas we were gonna make at a party. So we hopped into the store 10 minutes before closing to buy 3 bags of shredded cheese and several bottles of liquor.

I bought a blade once and the cashier looked at me like "are you alright?" And I was like, "it's not what it looks like" *I just wanted to sew*

As a cosplayer I always need to buy some weird shit. I came to the cashier with, 10 meters of rope, tape, a saw, gloves and 5 Stanley knifes she looked at me in fear :"c

“Cashiers of reddit...” “nOt a cAsHIEr bUt”

Me and my brother would go to the same shop with the same cashier everyday for 2 weeks buying the same product Staplers She looked terrified (A leaving gift for our friends)

I usually just make jokes when a customer comes through with copious amounts of cleaning supplies. "Hey, hiding a dead body, huh?" Always gets a chuckle.

My friend told me when she was working at fred Meyers someone came in bought 5 pounds of grapes and like a gallon of lube.....

The person buying the $500 worth of gift cards was using a stolen credit card and got spooked lmao

one time i was checking out for these 2 kids and i don’t remember what they bought other than a roll of tape. on their way out, one of them was like “we’re making a gun!!!” super cheerily. he’s come back to the store a couple of times, and it’s always kinda funny to see what he buys

I've been a cashier for over half a year. The store I worked at was a small dollar store. Cashiers rarely care about what customers are buying unless it's something that's difficult to bag, scan, or ring up. There's been only one time when I actually raised my eyebrows at someone's items. A few minutes before closing a couple came up to the counter with their cart overflowing with all the drugs in the medicine aisle. As I was bagging I noticed that some of the containers had very loose lids. Others were missing some or their pills. And others were completely empty.

I once bought bleach, cleaning spray, gloves, 2 bigass sponges, bounty, rope, garbage bags and a mop. The cashier looked so concerned and scared I bought the rope because my oldest sister came over to visit, I told her I was going to the store and if she wanted anything and she said she wanted rope for decorating (she likes doing those DIY stuff). At the time we were cleaning up, throwing stuff away, redecorating, fixing up our house up and stuff. It also didn’t help that I like to dress in a certain way, dark makeup, black combat boots and black trench coat. I was just another edgy kid but to the cashier I was possibly something worse.

As for the weirdly large amount of food and/or household items being bought: working in human services I can tell you it's not uncommon for shelters/group homes to send a single employee to the store to stock up

One time some friends and I went to a Walmart and bought ~500 rounds of 5.56. On our way out we stopped to show our receipt for the ammo when a security guard came up and asked us why we had bought so much. We explained we were going to use it for target practice and made it a point to state that none of us were going to school.

6:56 celery is best for dicing by card throwing. The person could have wanted to practice card throwing

How does "The sex toy book is for my grand daughter" provide a sufficient explanation?!?!

A brick, a single condom and Friends on bluray

I used to work as a cashier at Walmart. This one day I was working the Self-check area and this dude came through, bought 29 of those colorful knifes and a thing of Motor Oil. It wouldn't have bothered me except he kept looking around like he was trying to steal something. Then he quickly walked out the door.... I didn't hear anything on the news, so guess he just had a thing for colorful knifes lol.

I bought a 100 round case of bullets and with them in hand asked a closeby assistant where the powertools where. He had a very discernable look of fear and confusion in his eyes but told me anyways. It didnt take long to figure out what he was thinking, but trying to explain would only make things worse. Basically the tools were to do work one of my guns, and the bullets where to test fire it afterwards.

I once whent to the drugstore to buy some sewing needles to fix a rip in my pants and decide to buy some bon bonds when I was there. It was Halloween.

I bought a length of rope a suit and a half mask. The security was confused when I blared the overture from "Phantom of The Opera"

In Australia my dad and I went to a gun store as we were looking at a new 22 wmr, for context, in Australia to by a gun you go in and have a look then a permit has to be approved to buy it. This super shady guy comes in and points to and semi automatic weapon which is only allowed to be owned by professional marksman and says he wants it and he has cash. The guy serving him would have only be 15 and didn’t know what to do until the manger came over and defused the situation

As a cashier I can tell you all that we don't really notice what people are buying unless if it's REALLY suspicious. That one about going on auto-pilot is so true lmao, I don't notice half the things that people purchase

6:58 although it would seem weird to buy that much celery I have heard of people making health drinks with it so that could explain why they bought that much

Why does no one ever fit the type of person the question asks for? Lol "Hey, Cashiers!" "Not a cashier, but..."

6:53 was probably for rabbits or something in that ball park. Either that or someone *really* likes celery 😂😂😂

Woman came into the shop and placed some vaseline, extra safe condoms and a face mask on the counter and straight up said, with a straight face, "I have to do something embarrassing for my boss". She also apparently needed a second plastic bag...

A 48 pack of water bottles, two 5lb bags of ice, a pack of condoms, and some honey. Dude didn't make eye contact through the transaction

Once did a scavenger hunt where one of the items to acquire was a receipt for only a large cucumber and lube. Sent my husband to get it while we looked for other things. Apparently he just told the cashier "Don't ask". LOL

My cousin said he saw a guy buy a pair of yellow gloves,bleach,hunting knife,trash bags,and paint he said it sounded like he was gonna commit a murder and he didn't question him

Imagine just having 800 bucks worth of robux

As a cashier the sort of strangest thing I’ve come across was this couple buying about $900 worth of wine

A box of wooden matches, lighterfluid, and a family size bag of chips. At 3 am. I sat there staring at the cashier who kept giving me suspicious looks. When I walked out, I realized she probably thought i was gonna set something on 🔥 and watch while eating a big ass bag of chips.

The salon lady buying the pliers needed them for putting in microbead extensions lololol

My most suspicious shopping trip to Walmart was probably the time I was at the self checkout kiosk scanning a large amount of snacks (chips, juice, & pop tarts I believe) but then also a machete, a hatchet, a decently sized knife, a large roll of rope, a flashlight, & a blade sharpening kit. Thinking back on it now, I must have looked crazy, wearing a dirty all black outfit with wild unkept hair after a long day in the kitchen. But at the time, I was only looking forward to the camping trip I was about to go go on.

Once worked customer service, had someone return a rotory phone in 2005,to a Safeway.

One time when I was back to school shopping my dad decided to buy a new handgun

14:00 drain cleaner is quite good at breaking down organic material (obviously, because it needs to clear drains) and with 12 gallons you could easily submerge a... Well you get the idea...

As an ex cashier we would sit together in the break room discussing the strangest things we had a customer come through with. The best was a group of guys, obviously together, buying separately some items that would be suspicious together. Ductape, condoms, pool floaties, dog treats, and whipped cream. We had a good laugh.
