Have cashiers ever reacted to obvious WAM shopping? For example multiple pie crusts, cans of shaving cream, cake batter etc

One commented once "that's a lot of green paint" while I was stocking up on poster paints. I felt I needed to reply so said "yes, we're painting grass". Which didn't really help.

Once, while shopping for a session in the old pre-self-checkout days, I found myself at a discount store checkout counter staffed by an attractive college-age guy.

If I remember correctly, I was buying a single ping pong paddle, half a dozen or so bottles of syrups and molasses, and a pair of novelty boxers. (I might also have been buying an electric trimmer. Can't remember if that was the same trip or not.)

He smiled a couple times as he was scanning the items, and when he handed me my change, he looked at me, smiled, and said, "Looks like you're gonna have some fun this weekend."

Not a cashier, but once while I was in the baking aisle a young guy walked up to me and said, "that's a lot of cake stuff. What are you going to do with them?" I muttered something about it being my brother's birthday or some other sort of BS. He proceeded to talk my ear off about it being cool that I do stuff for my family. I had a birthday. I would love a cake from you, etc. Blah blah blah. I can't quite remember what he was saying because I was sweating bullets. I finally interrupted him saying something like, "ooookay have a good night." Quickly got out of that aisle muttering about what a liar I am. I'm sure he was just super hitting on me but a part of me thinks, (with a deep low voice) "he knows".

I bought 8 double packs of Hersheys chocolate syrup and as I pushed my cart a guy asked me what I was going to do with all that. When I said I was going to take a bath in it he replied I didn't need to be such an A-hole. He walked off and I just smiled at myself.

This had only happened to me twice, both times I just said I was getting supplies for a party, which was technically true, but it was more of a 1 person party.

I LOVE this! I've only been this honest and this matter-of-fact to a comment/question about a kink-related purchase once (when the guy behind the counter asked me about the paddle I was buying at an old school roadside gift shop).

In all my time of buying massive stuff only once did I have a cashier at Gordon ask in a very curious way. As you can see by the pic I bought A LOT for a major many hour deep mess session. That said when asked I simply said I am buying supplies for a large gathering and I have been given a list of what they want.

Cashier said nor asked anything more and just rang me out. Separately, it helps going during late afternoon or early evening as by then most cashiers are tired and really don't care - only want the end of their shift to come.

Bottom line - never be embarrassed or ashamed as people are nosey by nature - but its your happiness in slop heaven you are prepping for.

Yes. One time I had 10 cans of shaving cream and 20 Graham crusts. The cute cashier said "Oh my god, are you going to make shaving cream pies and smash them in someone's face?"

"Yes, mine. "

Great stuff guys!

One time in UK, while shopping with my WAM mate (always find that a hot thing to do), the cashier asked what we were going to do with all of the stuff and my mate said "We've got the Boy Scouts coming round" - and that shut her up!

I love the positive reactions when people know someone's going to be pied. After all, it's just innocent fun!

He was definitely hitting on you (who wouldn't). You ought to have made him a creamy cake and when delivering it to him put it in his face and walk off. He said he wanted a cake from you, never said where

Aw! You flatter me. Yeah, I know I should've invited him over and made a mess of him. Blame it on my shy and awkward nature. He came out of nowhere! Lol

OMG! This is everything! YESSSSS These are the most awkward exchanges ever! When I have to do a big pick up, its always like you all must really like pudding Ya'll wouldn't believe me even if I told you!

Poor Daddy gets sent a lot-he makes up the best excuses!!!!!

Last summer I was doing a big shop getting ready for a session. I had it all planned out. Diapers at the bottom of the cart buried under batter, coolwhip, and a pair of leggings. I had my reusable bags on top covering everything and went to self checkout. Laid out my bag, grabbed the diapers and they wouldn't scan. An attendant came over, grabbed them from my hands and scanned them. Afterwards glancing at the multiple boxes of chocolate cake batter. Mission failed!

Didn't Messygirl land a model this exact way, a cashier who inquired about their purchases and then wanted in on it?

I could see myself joking, "whatever party you're planning, I want an invitation!"

Also, true fact: a few years ago, I found a Family Dollar receipt floating around the parking lot. The only items on it were cake mix, icing, a baking pan and "toy handcuffs." Maybe a gift for someone who liked playing cop, or a little post-celebration kink.

The short answer is yes. I read the story on the forums here somewhere.

I once got recommended to buy the Crown white emulsion, not B&Q's cheapest when out gunge shopping. I just said "oh its only for a basecoat on plaster, not that by the end of the week I'd be sat naked in a paddling pool having it tipped over me

If I lived somewhere where anonymity were a thing, I'd love to be able to respond more honestly when people ask about things like this...if for no other reason than to observe folks' reactions.

Many years ago I helped out with the big pie fight in the Doodah Parade in Ocean City, and I was asked to grab a bunch of shaving cream for it. Someone else had ordered in bulk to a nearby Wal-Mart, but I needed to physically pick it up. Of course when I got to the check-out with 60-something cans of shaving cream, the cashier asked me about it, and I just casually said, "I'm opening a beauty salon for gorillas." That was the end of the conversation.

Since I haven't had a chance to buy stuff recently to get 'messy' with, (I had to buy a 'snake' for my tub....), but I do go to the same local grocery stores here, most of the time to stock up on liquor...l.o.l.

One of the commenters here talked about the cashiers and about how they have terrible jobs..., which might be true, but if you're pleasant and friendly with 'em, (no yakkin' on your phone when you're checkin' out....), they're actually really nice people. I know some of the cashiers by their names..., and some of 'em have future plans, (college, medical, e.m.t's, teaching...), so be nice and respect 'em.

And yes, if you're buyin' a dozen pies, (I always go for the 'day-old' stuff, self-check-out is probably the better option...., unless the cashier is some hot stud.........

We've been questioned multiple times though the years, we were asked very late one night if it was for a church outing... that was awkward, I was asked for my recipes for all this stuff once. My favorite though is at gfs when they ask if it's for business or personal use, the wife and I will always share a smirk....

Yes, monkey business and its personal......

Indeed, the amazing Zoe

We use the "grandkids" excuse....
....grandkids birthday party
....grandkids slime project

Or seniors....
.....pudding for the seniors birthday party
.....cake mix for cupcakes (make sure to also have cupcake liners with order)
.....clay for the pottery kraft room

Or for the farm...
.....bentonite pond sealer
.....J Lube for the farm

If someone asked, why not just say "It's for a funny pie in the face video"

Well said Muckup. There's nothing harmful in enjoying a few pies in the face. After all, it's been in the movies for over 100 years, plus sitcoms, game shows, fundraisers etc. People always seem to laugh when being pied or seeing someone else get creamed.

Yes, and I hate it.

My responses are technically not wrong, but don't give the full story. I'll say I'm making a video which involves a pie fight, or if I'm buying supplies for slime, it's a special project.

These are true, but not giving anything more than they need.

The other day I picked up a load of whipped topping and pie crusts and the guy delivering it to the car asked ""what are you making?"
I was always planning to say something along the lines of giving a friend some pies in the face for his birthday if ever I got asked that question, but my mind went blank and I blurted out "just baking stuff..." Dang I would have loved to see if the delivery guy would laugh at the idea had I remembered my planned explanation.

I'd have been tempted to give a sarcastic answer...i mean pie crusts, cream...what could that make hmmm...

...but one must be nice. Especially if the delivery guy was cute. Some time ago i bought several boxes of cake mix and oatmeal for a planned slopping and i got nuthin, which i'm fine with. Probably because i went to different stores and didn't get it all in the one place.
