Would you be offended?

The manager at my store checked me out today. I was at the end of the basket and pulled it forward to the checkout. While he got set up I started unloading a couple of things and once he looked ready to start I handed him my kroger card (always like to give them this BEFORE they scan). He immediately asked "do you have anything under your cart I need to scan?" I answered yes as I was busy unloading the rest of the items of the cart. I thought "well I'm sure you saw the items under there" and "are you implying that I would not pay for those items"? I always put my meat under the cart so that bacteria won't touch anything else and I also happen to put detergent there today. Maybe it looked funny because my cart wasn't full but I had my big bag and my coupon binder taking up space in the main part of the cart. I have my son with me and he grabs everything so I tend to place items on the farthest end and didn't want the detergent to smush my bread and zucchini.:shrug7:

I would not be offended. Have you ever noticed mirrors on the side of the register lane, positioned fairly low? If all about keeping everybody honest.

I wouldn't be offended. My cashiers at Kroger always ask if I have anything under the basket and if I do, generally the sacker comes and offers to help put it on the belt. (And do not look like I cannot lift my groceries.) I just think they are trying to be helpful.

I would'nt be offended either. Typically, people put heavy items on the bottom. My cashiers often ask cause that's where I put my coke 12 packs, DH's beer, etc. I look like a fool trying to haul that stuff up them asking makes my life easier. lol

[seedlady]

nope- they even have a sign that says "bob" at each checkout at my store- to remind them to check the bottom of the basket.


he trusted you enough to let you check.

[Littleskipper]

okay - I guess I may have taken wrongly. The manager is a little aloof so I wasn't sure.

[cupcake85]

Nah they are supposed to ask, there's even a sign saying if they don't you get a free Big K at one of my stores.

No, I would not be offended. BOB (bottom of the basket) is big here - they ask me every time but it could be because I have 3 kiddos hanging out in my basket which means most of the food goes on the bottom. I share your concern about the meat and try to keep it separate.

I do get offended when they do it to me and not the person before me. I was at Tom Thumb and only had 20 items in one of their smaller buggy. The lady in front was an older woman and had quite a few items. The cashier (guy) was all nice with her and I thought he was cool. Then I put my stuff on the belt, he leans way over his register to look into my buggy and at the bottom so obvious he thought I had things there. I guess I have a look to me that made him distrustful. :( Not my fault I had free snapple! But it did make me feel weird.

No, but it would depend on tone and attitude.
