interesting and scary (for me) experience

Lord, and this is in Texas? What's the Lone Star State coming to? If you ever see a cowgirl skirt there, please let me know. I could use one of those.

Ummm... the self check out at Walmart? I had a pr of heeled sandals and baby powder. For some reason the self check out didn't work right and a SA had to come over and scan the things a few times...I'll just go thru the regular line next time. Amanda

I used to be that way too, but I figured out that I don't care and secondly, nobody else would imagine in their wildest dreams that the reason I'm buying something is for Cding. And even if it was...so what? They know nothing about my intentions. If they were to ever mention it to me, I would just admit I was there shopping and like nothing is unusual, I would say...'you remember what I bought?....I don't even remember what it was now... must have been something you were interested in?'. ...in fact, I'm almost the opposite now, I would intentionally do it just to see the reaction...try picking out an eyeliner in the makeup section and walking up to the cash, buying it and then questioning the price because the display was wrong...or the pencil was in the wrong slot...did it...no odd looks, just several trips back and forth between the cash while the girls checked it out. People might wonder what you are buying, but act like its normal and they quickly make up some story to satisfy themselves.

so just a warning to you others still in the closet like me. if you don't want your package ripped open, stay away from jc penny's...:eek:

That happened to me and that was the last time for in-store delivery. I'll pay for my privacy. Besides , the SA was a nosy hag who also made comments not appropriate to her duties.

When a guy is shopping in the women's section, I think people usually assume he's buying something for his wife or girlfriend.

When you have a secret like that, you're going to be super paranoid. Most of the time, it's all in your mind.

It's all in your mind.

It's all in your mind.

Just sayin... from someone who has been there... :D
