Seriously, you should also buy lube.

I usually throw some condoms in my cart to make the ski mask, duct tape and shovel seem less embarrassing

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago

I um, let me have one of those porno magazines, large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, couple of those panty shields, and some illegal fireworks, and one of those disposable enemas. Eh, make it two.

I once bought a dog collar and leash, a pack of darts, and a child’s car seat at the same time. The Target cashier looked at me hard before I put it together, then we both cracked up.

[–] TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get it. A baby is going to throw darts at a tied-up dog?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Nah, leashed up baby as darts practice. The car seat is just to ensure the dartboard gets there safely.

The free market wants what it wants I guess.

Buy a can of Pringles and a sponge to make it less awkward. The cashier will assume that you're going to have a nice time with someone, have a shower afterwards and then eat some chips.

[–] Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 2 points 55 minutes ago (1 children)

I dont think Pringles can legally be called chips

Went to the pharmacy to get a box of condoms and they asked if I wanted a bag. I said "no thanks, I'll just turn out the lights."

Take my wife, please!

There's one called dogeposting, but it's not very active.

[–] cannibalkitteh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.

First time I bought condoms, I also bought goldfish crackers.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 33 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'd also be weirded if the condoms were in the eggs isle

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I think that was a potential "something else" aisle.

Cashier over the store PA system: ..... ummmm .... price check .... price check ...... umm... yeah ... in condoms ... ribbed .... cherry flavor ... costumer says they were on sale .... price check

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Cashier trying to scan box of condoms: .... beep ... boop ... beep .. boop ... [over PA system again] ... ummm ... supervisor ... can I get a supervisor

meanwhile line of people is getting longer behind you

You: ... hey just forget it ... I don't need the condoms .... I'll just pay for the lube and shovel

Cashier: ... it's already scanned as cheddar cheese and I need to clear it ... I need a manager to do that

Line is getting longer behind you and people are mumbling and grumbling

Cashier: .... supervisor ... um ... yeah ... supervisor ... check out #4 ... price correction for condoms please .... supervisor

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Supervisor who is younger than the cashier arrives: .... what is it Richard? did you mommy bring the wrong coupons again? ...

Richard the cashier: .... that was just the one time and it was only for 50 cents off dog food ... and besides that was two years ago before they demoted you from store manager ...

Line of people shifts to new cashier that just opened next to Richard ... people are grumbling and saying things ..

Supervisor: .... OK ... What is it? ...

Richard: ... yeah this guy was buying this stuff and condoms and it came out as cheddar cheese for $14.99 and I need to clear it but it won't let me

You: ... hey, I'm in a hurry here and I really don't need the condoms, just forget it OK?

Thank you for taking your time to write this, I appreciate it.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Hot take: If you're immature enough to be embarrassed buying condoms, you shouldn't be having sex.

Seriously, the checkout assistant couldn't give two shits about you, you're just another face they'll forget the second you walk out the door and that's if they have their brain switched on while working what is a very repetitive and mind numbing job.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

It’s not about maturity.

Society has this bad habit of conditioning people for or against certain ideologies, and sex and contraception are two hot button topics that could easily make a timid person even more intimidated. There is also the gossip factor in case the person is going to a store with people they know working or shopping there, and are concerned about “word getting around” about them being promiscuous.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 16 points 7 hours ago

We all gotta start somewhere. No need to shame people for something many experience.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 9 points 7 hours ago

Such Weird. Much Awkward.

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Don't you just hate it when the cashier thinks you're getting ready to board Mr. Bones' Wild Ride?
