If you purposefully don’t use the divider, you shouldn’t be allowed to shop there. Also, what the hell does this have to do with race?
Right? I’m not paying for your shit!
That’s racist!
Venmo me some reparations
Racist.
4chan style racial garbage? in my fediverse? it’s more likely than I think 😔
It just seems such a self-own to say how the divider is a white people thing. You’re putting yourself down there lol
“Segregation” is referring for “racial segregation”, probably specific to the historical policy in the US.
Hope this helps~
Yeah fuck that noise! You’re supposed to wait until they accidentally scan the next persons items and then make them get a manager to make the correction like God intended!
Or you can just avoid that and use the divider so the cashier knows when they’re done with your items…
In theory leaving a significant amount of space should give the cashier enough information, but then again, we don’t live in a world where everything is as it should be…
As someone who was once a cashier, not everyone places their items logically.
Sounds space inefficient.
And the other person doesn’t get to unload their cart as early
Since its a continuous belt loop, a significant amount of space behind the next customer could mean placing your items right at the front of the belt.
Wasting space
Stupid cashiers… I always put those separators on the belt, but they always stop me from buying one.
you need to weigh them with the secret produce code 1337 to put a price on them and make them purchasable
Is that a white thing? I do love it, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with my race. It makes it easier for the cashier to tell when one person’s groceries end without having to pay attention to who is putting what on the belt.
I put one down behind my items just yesterday, and the Black woman behind me thanked me for doing so. So there’s a data point.
3 data points so far, we’ve practically completed a study!
I haven’t lived in a predominantly-white area in over 20 years and I have never been in a situation where someone should have used a divider and didn’t…so I have hundreds of data points to back yours up
No, it’s not. Just people making stupid shit for online acceptance.
In my country the cashiers will place the divider beforehand if you forget to do it and while the current customer is paying… So yes, the divider is for the cashier not for the customers.
“You ever notice how _____ people do [insert common, innocuous, rational behavior]…”
Yeah, this is trolling.
Someone will try to make everything about race.
Reddit’s WhitePeopleTwitter and BlackPeopleTwitter were pretty interesting in what sort of stuff was considered white and what black
I don’t get it. I don’t want to stand in line longer waiting while the cashier unscans my items from the person ahead’s order or unscans the next persons items from my order. They also often fuck it up anyway but still
What? As an Asian American I and my family love that damn stick.
Don’t be lumping my flavorful ingredients with some white guys bland crap at the Chinese grocery store.
But seriously everyone should use that thing because it makes the cashier’s job easier, faster, and smoother for everyone.
Do people not use it?
I’ve noticed that Middle Eastern refugees don’t use them as often. Maybe it wasn’t a thing in where they’re coming from? Dunno.
Race baiting has really fallen off as a profession, I see.
The stick is a universal if you have a cart of groceries, we all need the stick in those times to guide us. The thing that gets me is when I put a hand basket on the belt and the person in front of me gives me the stink eye and slaps the stick between their loose groceries and my contained and obviously separate basket of groceries like I was trying to trick them to pay for my stuff. It’s not just white or old people, though, being a douche is a human quality, not a racial or generational thing.
I thought basket of groceries on the belt was a social faux pas?
Because then the check out people can’t plan their bagging of heavy / light?
It’s a hand basket, there are at most two bags worth of stuff in it. If you’ve got a bunch of heavy shit that needs separated then you’re doing it wrong.
at most two bags worth of stuff in it.
You dont know how to hand basket very well.
You don’t know what hand baskets are for, get a cart.
I always empty my basket onto the conveyor. Seems rude of me to assume the cashier should reach over and into a basket just to ring up my goods. Do you also make them unload your buggy when you use those?
What was the response you were hoping to get from this?
Just trying to teach children how to be adults. You can lead a horse to water and all.
Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off.
Only white people use them? I moved from the PNW down south and I can say they get used much less down here. Haven’t paid attention to race though
I don’t want some filthy poor persons grocceries touching my filthy poor person grocceries
Did their chocolate get into your peanut butter?
I just realized I haven’t used a conveyor belt checkout since before the pandemic. It’s either grocery delivery or self-checkout.
Mr Richie Rich here, getting food delivered.
Delivery price is cheaper than the fuel, prices are same as the store.
It’s actually cheaper here, and it is also cheaper and easier for both the store and me.
This is no stick. This is a KUNDENDIFFERENZIERUNGSMODUL
No it’s obviously a WARENTRENNER
Throw it in a crowd of white people and watch us fight over it like a pack of yorkshire terriers fighting over a milk bone.
