Practically never in my whole live, standing in thousands of checkout lines, have l heard anyone say "Thank you" to another person placing a divider.
Maybe under very special circumstances that primarily had nothing to do with the divider itself.
It is in both person's interest to place it, so the the one who has the opportunity to do it just does.
Had I encountered the woman from the post, I just would have classified her as mentally not entirely stable and kept my distance...
It’s like saying thank you to someone for flushing the toilet.
I had a girl say thabk you to me three days ago. But that was because I put the divider down and then used it to drag my stuff towards the cashier to make more space for her stuff.
That's one of the exceptions I was thinking about. Looking at someone and deciding to do something beneficial specifically for that person.
I say thank you when people put them in front of me, including the cashier.
Which is totally ok!
Although I would either be slighty confused by it or more likely wouldn't even register it at all, as not expecting thanks to be directed at me.
After all, placing the divider is somewhat of a selfish action on my part, omitting later stress...
I'm sorry, I fail to see how this reads as anything other than "Amanda" being an insanely self-important cunt...
So, if you "support this" feel free to assume that extends to you as well
I'm sorry but I have to assume you're not British (which is fine, not your fault). You wouldn't survive one day in the jungle of unspoken rules of politeness that is a Tesco queue.
No 'thank you' for a divider? That's a firm mild stare for you
No 'no worries' when people apologise for forgetting to thank you for the divider? Rude.
No 'nonono it was me luv' when people tell you 'no worries' after you apologised for forgetting to thank them for the divider? Are you some sort of sociopathic asshole?
I'd recently blocked "LadyButterfly she/her" because I was getting fed up of her constant low effort ragebait, so I was surprised to see this post appear on my feed - it turns out she's posting from multiple instances, presumably to get around either blocks or bans.
Oh wow... Ya know, I'd noticed on a few occasions that she seemed to be the predominant poster in a few of my mental health/'tism related subs, but now that you've brought it to my attention I can't seem to recall her posting anything OTHER THAN the most basic of basic bitch, LCD kinda stuff day in and day out... So the whole "secret identities" aspect tracks too 🤣😂
Yeah? You're supposed to put it down after You're done.
I'm not gonna thank someone for flushing the loo after they're done either.
Am from Germany and this reads like absolute asshole behaviour TBH
Just for fun I would have considered not putting the divider in so they had to make sure they told the cashier when the last item was, or pay for stuff they didn't want.
I too would have left the divider out, because I default to assume others are acting in good faith.
I would have wondered why we needed to not use a divider, today. I would have assumed she knew something I didn't know. And then I would have shrugged and left it how she put it.
So I guess I would have achieved an accidental malicious compliance. Haha.
Edit: No joke or anything, I'm just that naive sometimes.
I’m not gonna assume it’s flirting but if it is…
Does Amanda not do shopping? You place the divider behind your shopping. It’s Tesco Woman’s turn to put the divider, she’s in front. If he places the divider in front of his groceries, she should say thank you.
Dunno if it's a US vs UK thing, but my experience has always been the opposite. That is, you put the divider down before putting your groceries down
Is that not how you are ment to put the devider down. If the next person to put it down you may still have stuff to put on the convaer belt. This is potentially a high stakes event.
Yes it is high stakes.
When I go for it, I leave exactly one milk carton of blank belt before adding the divider.
I feel that it gives me an air of unhurried friendly eye-contact-free confidence.
I've heard other people speak in this situation, but that sounds like a pro player move that I might warm up to in a few more years.
I'm this way with helpful comments
Thank you
