The divider is so the cashier knows when to stop ringing more stuff up because it isn't yours. If she moved the divider back afterwards, that almost implies that she wants to buy the persons behind her products. The story makes no sense, the divider is something you put up for yourself, it just happens to benefit everybody.
I'm human and I enjoy these stories of pettiness just like anybody else.
But if I may please speak in my "old man who has seen things" capacity for a moment, this is not the way to live. You should endeavor to do positive things every day to make life better for people around you as well as yourself. And you don't do this because it gets you praise or rewards, you do it because of the internal rewards. It's good for your mind.
Exactly.
This doesn't make a lot of sense. Amanda is talking about a "woman in Tesco", but somehow knows the reason she took the divider back. Did the woman announce this or something? Or is it just guesswork? Or is it a bullshit made-up story? You decide!
More to the point though, putting the divider would help her more than it helps the man. Because without the divider she risks the mans stuff being confused with her stuff, such that she might pay for items that aren't hers, or just wait her own time. So why should the dude be thanking her if she's actually just looking after her own interests? (And all that is aside from the fact that it is such a low-effort ordinary interaction that a person might not notice or care that it happened.)
Delighted to realize that my default internal voice for this man is the one from South Park.
Eh. I just consider it a common courtesy thing that doesn't require a response.
Yeah exactly. This is like holding a door for the person 2 steps behind you. It's something that decent people do without a second thought, because it's the right thing to do.
Yeah, nobody has ever said thank you when I've done it, nor did I expect them to.
Oh I'm sorry. Everyone deserves a thanks on occasion. Thank you kind stranger, i am so flighty i forget to say it at the store 😋
I am autistic. Talking to total strangers anywhere but online is really fucking hard. I find the words catching in my throat every time I go to speak. And even then, sometimes it's barely above a whisper.
To a normal person, this is petty. To me and mine, this is cruel. And you have no way to tell which it will be. Maybe you shouldn't support this.
I was over here thinking what if somebody didn't even know that was what she was doing or that they were supposed to say thank you. Now that poor person will be left wondering what even happened because her resolution (picking it up and putting it back) provides no opportunity to learn.
So dumb.. the divider is for her and the checkout person’s benefit. for fuck sakes
I've given up on having expectations of other people.
I've decided to just be nice to everyone no matter the circumstance or reaction. If you don't want to be nice or polite ... screw you.
If you want to be unkind, negative or rude ... I'm going away from you as fast as possible ... and if I can't avoid you, I'm giving you an earful of how I feel about your stinking guts
Eewwww, Twitter.
If you require a thank you you didn't do it for them you did it for the validation, not saying you shouldn't say thanks but that if you do something for someone you should expect nothing for it to be truly altruistic.
The man didn't notice this and the cashier kept scanning all the products, hers and his. Very smart Karen, you got him!
You're not putting the divider for the person behind, you're putting it for YOURSELF and the cashier.
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
