 @2a48eef0 Just a side note.  I learned to make friends with the checkers by turning the UPC code so they could see it, and then scan it.  They don't have to fumble each item to find it.  It worked best at Costco.  Made some lasting friendships over it.
It broke the ice so to speak. 
 @3e6503cb @2a48eef0 I do that with my 50lbs bags of sheep and chicken feed when I'm checking out at Tractor Supply. The look of relief on the cashier's face is unmissable, lol. 
 @92575985 I know, it's wild.  I met Suzanna at Costco when she lifted a 50-lb bag of dog food. That was a treat.  I joked about needing her at home.  She said, ok.  I told her I was just joking.  She said she wasn't.  I said fantastic!  Jeanette was another one, I watched her when she started as a food sample person.  Watched her work in the different departments.  She went off to college and then got married. Katie almost knocked over one of our wine bottles....
