Mainly when I bought 2 boxes of twinkies. As a cashier, I don't want to make others feel uncomfortable. Except when I sold condoms to a guy.... that was awkward for both of us

I had a cool cashier who would joke around with people who bought condoms. Needless to say, he got fired over complaints :lol:

Nope. I remember one time I did go to the store for a girl I was dating at the time, and bought her tampons. The older woman in line behind me made a comment about how her husband never does anything like that for her. I think the cashier was embarassed, I just laughed and told the lady that I'm taken. I think that threw her off as well. But going into the store originally, I thought it would be an awkward situation.

I bought a very thick book on A+ certification, and I thought nothing of it until the cashier said "Have fun" in a very sarcastic tone.

I'm 22 and I still wander up and down the toy aisles in stores. I'm always finding myself interested in the things kids play with these days. Makes me wonder what they're missing out on from when I was a kid and vice versa.

Or purchase several different sizes. Tell the cashier you're unsure, it varies.

I never understood why a woman would need a guy to buy those kind of things for her.

I once bought some kanker sore/cold sore stuff and the wonderful checkout lady looked over the package and announced "Eew! I hate cold sores!" Why thank you for informing the whole line I have a cold sore!

Once you rent out all kinds of adult film to people and you realize that you never remember them then it kind of makes the prospect of buying anything yourself that might be considered embarassing fairly minimal.

I never really got the reason behind it either. But I suppose when you're the one making a trip to the store, it's just another item to pick up and save a trip for later on.

Yeah, but I'm pretty self conscious... Mainly when/if I buy video games because they usually have pretty retail girls at the counter and they just give you that look... Or maybe that's just me and not the product.

Another time, although I wasn't actually buying anything, I ended up in the womans underwear section of a department store. I was following my sister ad her boy friends who ditched me, and I was looking at a catalogue and lost track of them and I got some stares. :/

Oddly enough when i rush to the toy section and press all the buttons on the toys no one seems to care...

So I guess in short no, not until someone starts making me feel embarrased.

I'm 21 and I still look to see if there are any cool new legos.

Buying condoms is awkward.

One thing I really want to do just to freak people out is go to Wal-Mart and buy a birth control test and a single coat hanger (Thank you xkcd)
