Life in General / Re: Can I go ahead of you please? I only have a few items.
« Last post by Rose Red on January 16, 2026, 10:04:59 am »I've never asked but had people offer for me to go ahead. I also do the same if I notice someone behind me who only have a few items.
I haven't done it lately though because like you said, there's usually self-checkouts and the wait is usually not too long. Also, I've witnessed customers who only have 1-3 items take longer than a customer with a cart full of stuff (price check, trouble paying, slow cashier, etc.)

I tend to have a full cart (impulse buying!) and if i notice the person behind me has only a few items I offer to switch places with them. Since I’ve retired I’m rarely in a rush to go anywhere.

I do not ever ask this anymore. With Express "15 items or fewer" type lanes and self-checkout, it seems to me that there are plenty of lanes for those with just a few items.
To clarify, I don't often buy a cartload of groceries anymore nowadays. It's just me and I usually only need a few things. So it would be ME asking, not someone asking me. And I really haven't in years now.
So I'm just curious. When was the last time you asked? When was the last time you had someone ask you?
What's your opinion of whether this is still ok?

Entertaining and Hospitality / Re: what would you do? (not invited)
« Last post by jpcher on December 11, 2025, 02:27:34 pm »oh, the same thing happened last year. I can't remember if I said anything to the older lady or not, probably not. The older lady has a summer backyard BBQ for the community every year, I do go to that.
Thanks for posting the bold. I thought I vaguely remembered something very similar in an older post. I had to look at the date to make sure I was reading a new post.
Were there any aftereffects from you not attending last year?
If not, I wouldn't worry about it. I agree that a secondhand invite is not valid.
I like lowspark's response.
