Why do clerks feel the need to comment on pregnancy tests |

as you buy them? The last thing I need you to comment about is that.
"Oh you excited?" "This one works really well!" "Isn't it cool that now you can check 5 days earlier?!?" "Are you happy or scared?"

Uh, how many have you purchased that you've had that much commentary?
I've never had anyone comment when I've purchased one, and if they did, I'd complain to management. |

say you're only checking so you can figure out if you need that abortion or not

I've only bought a pregnancy test twice.
It's just as annoying if you buy a lot of something and they comment as well, but it's not as intrusive lol. |

Woah. I've only bought a pregnancy test once, but I've NEVER had a cashier say anything like that to me.

To all you cashiers out there - I would DIE if you commented on a pregnancy test. I've bought, like, 2, and am scared shitless every time.
I'm an unmarried college student, though...I don't know if this is appropriate if the woman is middle-aged, married, ect, ect. It's just too personal to comment on. Like, would you comment on lube? Or condoms? |

I think I've bought 2 in my life and both times I had a male cashier and they were just really silent and awkward. I think it made them feel weird or
something.
Meri, I totally get what you're saying. I make myself feel uncomfortable because I am an unmarried college student, but for all they know I could be married and hoping to conceive. We're not teenagers anymore so the cashier really has no idea about our lives. |

I have a serious boyfriend and all, but I still feel ~judged by buying one.
Ahem, on a side note, LOESTRIN SUCKS, people. It makes you miss your period like crazy = pregnancy scares big time. Funny story - my friend's sister had a scare, so they used the self-checkout...I guess it was something you needed an ID for (?), and the alarm started going off for a cashier to come over. They bolted out of the store

They shouldn't be commenting on your purchases anyways, it's even more inappropriate to make a comment regarding a pregnancy test.

Today the lady said, "This one really works...isn't it cool you can check 5 days earlier?!?"
And the other time I bought a pregnancy test, another lady said, "Are you happy or scared to see the results?!?" I've only bought a pregnancy test twice in my life, today being the 2nd time. |

I've NEVER commented. I think it's too personal, you never know if they want to keep it or not. I never even mention anything, unless the customers
brings it up first.

Yeah, the one time I bought one I was scared shitless. I'm past college age but I usually get mistaken for a high school freshman. So I was afraid to look
the cashier lady in the eye in case she was like

When I was a cashier at Target, a girl came through my lane with like four pregnancy tests. I didn't say anything, cause she was avoiding eye contact and
making it totally obvious that this was not a happy trip to Target.
Then, a few hours later, she came through my line again with four more and still not making eye contact. I so wanted to say "Bitch, if you're that embarrassed, GO THROUGH A DIFFERENT LINE!!" |

I bought one today.
I think a lot of it is YOUR attitude! Before she even got to the test, she said "How are you?" and I just had my normal
"I'm fine, how are you?  " response, then I bagged my shit, paid, and left. Not all that awkward. 
But the hick guy behind me was totally judging or eying me. I'm not sure.
