    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.”

    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.

      I once bought a six pack of beer, some vaseline, a cucumber and rubber gloves. On a Friday afternoon. Didn’t think about it until I got a very weird look from the cashier.

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

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

      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.

    the problem is whatever you throw in the cart with it is now evaluated in context of the condoms.

      Nothing weird about making sure people don’t accidentally fertilise their eggs

      I think that was a potential “something else” aisle.

    I used to try to make it as awkward as possible. Condoms, lube, a bottle of wine, and whatever phallic fruit I could find.

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

      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

        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?

    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.

    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.

      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.

      Meh, that’s not even a lukewarm take. It’s a common sentiment.

      BUT

      It won’t make embarrassed teenagers any less horny.
