    Shoplifters don't have these problems.

    Did this happen in the UK ?
    I just ask because you use the word counter, Ive not heard that used before in relation to supermarket checkouts.

    The companies that manufacture and install the supermarket checkouts do refer to them as checkout counters
    The only reason I know this is because I recently attended a bankruptcy auction and a large number of the lots were static and motorised checkout counters.

    Hi all. I was in a supermarket and at the checkout, the assistant put the goods thru the till and then placed them right beside himself on the counter thus making me lean across the counter to get them. It happened previously so this time I asked him to move them towards me. I then paid him for them and he pushed the change aggressively into my hand. I could feel his hand touch my hand.. Just wondering has any one experienced this type of thing. Must admit I was upset by it at the time but managed not to give out directly to him..

    I have read some rubbish and some troll posts on here. But seriously.

    Himself touched your hand.

    How come you'r so lucky, or maybe not.

    But then I'm always lucky, I'm spoken for.

    OP don't say which super market, as no crowd control.

  • might be worth taking some pictures of yourself looking unhappy, in case you need them for court

    Or the Metro.
