    Late Friday evening at the checkout there’s three of us in the queue. Guy at the front has two frozen pizzas, guy number 2 has a bottle of Vodka, guy number 3 (me), has a bottle of wine. None of us have used a divider, after all I’m not paying for his vodka and he’s not going to buy my wine.

    We’re joined by a woman with a trolley full of chaos and she asks me if she can go in front as she’s in a hurry.

    “Sure, but I’ve only got this” she sees the other two singletons and grumbles. Then she notices the lack of dividers and shouts “WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???” and proceeds to SLAM down dividers between us.

    From then on, I never use dividers, just to see who in the queue is likely to erupt.

        trying to buy isn’t winning in battle. just start licking it romantically while maintaining eye contact.
        or dip into your pants and scratch your ass with it.

        or both.

          It could be also a funny (although more expensive) idea to buy 100 of these things and bring a new one whenever you go to the store. So the deviders suddenly won’t fit anymore in that little rail and the cashiers will go crazy how this is randomly happening every couple of days.

      Buying 1, no discount, buying 1000, no discount, buying 2499, no discount, buying 2500 or more … ok fine, you can have a discount. 😂

    Next step, add a barcode on the divider and then straight face tell them that’s part of your purchase. Wait for confusion to sink in.
