Why do women always look surprised when they have to pay at a cash register?

[sasemohan123]

Why all the woman bashing? All at the same time? Have we men figured out HOW to live without "them"? Or have we known HOW to live WITH them now, perhaps by being so rough, mean and petty? Hey, count me in, WOMEN of TERB!!!!

 

[Ironhead]

I don't drink beer.

I don't see how it applies.

If it amuses you without injuring your brain, enjoy!

Again with the bold type.

and to think I just wrote this on another thread.

See women just can't win. We shut up and it is wrong, we discuss and it is nagging, we bitch and we are going overboard.

It is easy to live without them. Don't expect me to give you a hand in figuring out how. Living without women can be very handy, it leaves all your affairs in your very capable hands.

Again with the bold type.

At least it isn't neon red. Just saying.

Hey, he could be bolding and blue/red coloured his post, please don't start....heehee.

Oh no, somebody's winning the Nobel Peace Prize, for ever and ever.

Do keep it for your enjoyment, thanks but no thanks.

ahahaha, this is something I once posted elsewhere...

Just a word about people in the checkout line who are unprepared. We've all been stuck behind them, they're the ones who seem surprised the cashier would like them to pay before they leave. WTF???? If you're still writing paper checks in this day and age, can't you at least be making the check out while your items are being scanned?

Don't get me started about the selfish people who remember what they forgot when the cashier is halfway through their order, and who leave the register to go get the item. Screw you, pay for your #### and get back in line. Your lack of memory does not entitle you to make everyone else wait.


I hate to admit it, but it's always a woman. I don't know why.

It's called female privilege.

 

[bazokajoe]

I find, and quite regularly at that, that it's not so much they are surprised to pay but they are just not ready for when that moment comes.

The cashier spends minutes ringing the items up but the lady in line just stands there and never even pulls out her wallet (once she finds it in her mega purse) until the total is displayed. Then they spend an extra minute or two looking for the exact coins in their change purse, one by one by one.

Totally exasperating.

OK,glad I am not alone in this observation.
Another thing I notice,especially at the bank and grocery store is,women think it's a social club and just stand around blabbering endlessly about kids,work,more kids...Do your what you have to do...pay and get the f@#k out.WHy is that so hard?

Why do men always act like they're suddenly in a big hurry in the checkout line?
At the LCBO today, a man spent about an hour looking through all the various beers; going up and down the aisles checking all the brands, looking in the cooler at the domestics and imports as if he all the time in the world. He would pick up six pack, inspect it, put it back on the shelf and continue with this crucial process.

Finally after making what was apparently the most important decision of his life, he clasped the 12 precious bottles and made a beeline for the checkout counter. There was a woman ahead of him and he became agitated and started clicking his tongue and making "tsk" sounds, as if now he was now in big rush to get somewhere and how dare she slow him down for even a few seconds! She started to become flustered and looking around the establishment in confusion, not understanding why he was so impatient and rude.
Was the store on fire?

He has beer, he has money, and he needs to be out of there! ASAP woman, hurry up, there are caps to unscrew and wonderful golden liquid to be downed - do you not understand the urgency!?


ps why do some men use the bold tag for their posts, do they believe that makes them special or more significant?

Because when you are done hunting, you don't wait around before returning home with the kill.

I see this all the time at Tim Hortons. The women get to the front of the line and--in the rare circumstances when they actually know what they want--they almost never have their money ready and have to dig into their purse, and then into their wallet, and then count out the change. Meanwhile the guy in the next line has stepped up, ordered, handed over exact change or a bill, and is moving on.

Women are just wired differently it seems.

It's astute observational humor.

It's also very, very accurate.

Tim Hortons staff are slowwwwww.

Don Draper plugged up the toilet and the LCBO and was impatiently waiting in line to ask the cashier for plunger

I totally agree. Plus, if the cashier is female many women spend a couple of minutes chatting as if it’s a damn social event

Why would you spend over an hour of your time watching this guy? Why were you there so long and why was this guy such a focus of your attention?

 

[wigglee]

I hate it when the lady takes 5 minutes searching through her purse looking for the exact change.........or when the man pulls out a debit card and then proceeds to behave like he has never used one before........of course, all this pales in comparison to being behind the guy at Canadian Tire who is paying for his lawn trimmer with krinkled 10 cent bills of CT money!

Most of us are thinkng some nice man should just pay it
