    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?

    I wouldn’t have any problem with not having this stick, but cashiers can’t seem to tell that a six-inch distance between my order and the next order is a good place to stop. Then we’re all sitting around for an extra couple of minutes while they try to get someone to come and authorize voiding the items.

    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.

    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…

        The belts usually move forward automatically, eliminating any space left intentionally between two groups of things on it once the first group has been removed from the belt.

          Yeah but cashiers have eyes and can see that there is space behind the last item they are currently grabbing, I would think.

          I use dividers when I can, but sometimes not enough of them are available.
