That's where all the naughty things live, like cigarettes, condoms, snus, pregnancy tests... It's like they were too wild and disorderly to keep near the till, so they got locked up in a special box.
Okay, I can understand putting cigarettes in a special, locked box but why condoms and pregnancy tests? Is it to stop teenagers from getting to them or make it harder for teenagers to get them or something?
They are easy to conceal, embarrassing to buy, and bring.enough on the shadow market to be worth reselling. Stuff.like that is a prime target.For theft.
True, good point. I do remember one company christmas party where there was a tiny little man selling snus on the car park. He had logs and logs of the stuff, and I don't believe he bought them, or that they fell off a lorry. He rather looked like a middle-aged Eddy, from
Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy.
I never understood why condoms would be embarrassing to buy. Women can buy the pill without anyone even noticing.
I always go to my pharmacy, and yell when entering the door "Hey sis, can you grab me some more of those XXL rubbers?"
It's the "hello, I will engage in The Sex presently, and I shall need these for my courgette" for me, really. It is rather private and intimate, and broadcasting private things in public generally makes me uncomfortable. And it doesn't help looking vaguely like a Latin teacher, with the knowing "well, didn't he get lucky, then?" looks and giggles you sometimes get. It's not a teenage thing, it's a trait of mine. I don't like giving my phone number loud and clear in public, either. Or discuss my current ISP, thank you very much.
Heh, fun fact; the only exercise I like is swimming, and I'm glad that I can barely see what I'm doing without my glasses on. There is usually (according to my friend with decent eye-sight) very pretty girls there. An incident like that would leave me absolutely mortified.
I might just be incredibly repressed.
Okay, everyone needs to take a picture of the cashier's setup near their place. The places I know of, it's pretty unfeasible, the whole system sits behind the till-barricade and the goods go straight from beeper to bag.
You only really get access to them when they need to go into the shopping cart.
Of course, mom and pop shops work slightly differently. I think. Okay, I have no idea, they don't exist.
I began making a diagram in Paint, until I remembered this advert. That is basically the standard set-up.

Aren't parents supposed to encourage kids to think for themselves and develop their intellect, not do the exact opposite and act as thought police?
They are, or ought to be. Oh dear. Honestly, that sort of attitude to knowledge is just plain unchristian, if you ask me. That is a very bright sister, and a very bright question. It might not sound as much at the moment, but bright kids usually remains bright, even if the parents discourage it.
