This happens sometimes, if I'm in a hurry (which is most of the time):) I say something like "I really hate to interupt you BUT"..............:):)

i usually say excuse me, can you talk after work ? they do get the message. +5

I would leave the potential purchases wherever they are and walk away saying nothing at all.
by Bonezz on November 11th, 2009
if it was long enough and other lines where long to i be like "Shut your mouth, there done, there IS other people behind them, dipshit" Tryin to keep it as pg-13 as possible.

I'd be like HEY DOUCHEBAGS!!! What the hell are your problems? I grew a beard twice sitting here!!
by Merriment on November 11th, 2009
I don't have to say anything, apparently the expression on my face says it all.
by philosopher on November 11th, 2009
I would say I am in a hurry and can you discuss this later.

Hello, my hair is turning gray here
Can I get someone to help me who is not part of the welfare to work program???
by philosopher-saint on November 11th, 2009
Yeah, this one is kinda a bummer at times.
I don't wanna be hypocritical about it re: prioritorizing one's immediate choices, so I generally just let it go on, loudly clearing my throat periodically.

If it went on long enough, clear my throat or cough to get their attention off each other. If they didn't get the hint, I'd probably ask the cashier if he/she would mind cashing me out.

I usually say, "hey, I'm waiting".

Lay down the garbage I was going to purchase, note the names of those talking, walk out and call back and speak to the manager. I have also went to customer service before leaving the building for a little talk. I have never had to buy something I could not delay the purchse and I refuse to beg for them to take my money. +5

That happens quite a bit at the ameristop by my house and I have no problem saying "excuse me, I have places I need to get to, could you ring up my order and then finish this conversation?"+4
by john pennington on November 12th, 2009
I clear my voice to get the clerks attention.
Once the clerk looks at me, i point to my watch.
This works.
by AnnieB on November 12th, 2009
If she couldn't move and talk at the same time, I would leave my things on her belt and walk by saying "I don't have time for this shit!" And, if I was in a REALLY bad mood, I would tell the customer service people why they had to put all my things back on the shelves...
It's more often the customers in line in front of me who irritate me more than the cashier does...

Join in the conversation with a sarcastic tone. They'll get uncomfortable and shut up.

I'd say, "DO I HAVE TO TAKE A NUMBER, TOO? OR MIGHT YOUR MANAGER BE MORE PREDISPOSED TO AN EXPEDITIOUS CHECK-OUT?"!
by Deborah on November 12th, 2009
If I'm right behind her, I'll give the cashier a sharp and dirty look..they usually do notice and try to cut the conversation. But if they don't, I would say : "Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry." or at one time, I managed to provoke another lady who looked more annoyed then me to make the move.

Be polite and say "I have life too, ya know"
by King of Sexytown on November 12th, 2009
They do that all the FUCKING time where I live!!!! There aren't life counselors or anything in the whole Goddamn state apparently. You get used to it after a time.
by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on November 11th, 2009
I will take the name of the cashier and report to the manager.and when my turn comes to pay the i will tell her/him off.
by Anonymous on November 11th, 2009
i'd rather say to the cashier," Excuse me, would you mind of me here? i'm going tired already waiting for this matter. my patience is over and i have to because for me time is gold. i have something to do after this, hope your not blind and also deaf.
by roiboysatx on November 12th, 2009
i would probably wait but act annoyed then call the store later to complain.

You're reading If a cashier was talking to customer for a long time about personal things while you waited to be checked out, what would you say or do?
