Putting down the divider is not a courtesy, it is expected of you.

This is like expecting someone to say thank you because you flushed the toilet before leaving it

In all of my experience, it's required for the person behind them to put the divider on the belt before putting their own groceries down. Not on the person in front to put it down after their items (unless they're trying to be courteous)

Here in Germany, i've observed it the other way around: Everyone always puts a divider behind their items.

Other way around. If you don't want to pay for my shit, set your divider.
