Default do you care what people think of your supermarket purchases?

Do you put your stuff on the conveyor at the supermarket checkout in a specific order because you worry what the person in front will think of you based on your purchases?



The other day I was in Asda and I was restocking the booze cupboard... I like to keep plenty on hand as opposed to have to go to the shop every other day, so:
-10x cans 1664
-6x bottles Miller
-12x cans Guinness
-bottle of Vladivar
-bottle of Jose Cuervo

The woman in front said something about how it should be 'a good party then?' or something. I just mumbled yes, I didn't want to say anything like 'it's all for me and the missus' or indeed 'nah, I decided I needed a hobby so I'm becoming an alcoholic' or something.

Now, last time I asked people (not here) this question they all said I was nuts and paranoid and they didn't care.

SO ORG, the question is to you now: Do you care and put your items down accordingly?

EDIT: And no discussion of 'oh I put the stuff in order because I am OCD about how I pack all my stuff' please. Thanks

I've never given it much thought.

If you are uncomfortable with what you purchase, is there a deep rooted feeling you are doing something wrong?

Lie back on the couch and tell me of your childhood.

To be honest I have got this far in life not caring what other people think of me so as long as I am happy within myself I don't give a damm my dear

Its their problem not mine.

I've placed a large pack of condoms and plenty of booze to sink a battle ship, before now. Do I care what a stranger thinks of my purchases. Nope!
However if it was my parents weeeellllll!!

I never understood the embarassment about buying condoms.

"Yes, condoms. I'm going to get laid. Are you?"

You cant just put the healthy stuff at the front otherwise the person behind will see that your an alcoholic, you need to develop a fruit to alcohol balance...

i like to balance an apple on top of every 4 pack

Too right, these folk that put everything for the freezer in one bag, all the veg in another, everything for the fridge in another, everything for the cupboards in another.

Those kind of folk are so sad, you'd never catch me doing that



As for caring what other folk think of the items on belt, now that REALLY is sad! I couldn't give a flying **** either.
