  Putting the divider down is also polite. Why are we expected to always be the most polite or suffer cruelty if we don’t comply? It’s a two-way street.

  And my voice is fine. It’s the presssure and anxiety of the situation. The nervousness makes it harder to speak loudly.

  The point here is that removing the divider after having placed it simply for the person not thanking them is petty at best and cruel at worst, and it simply shouldn’t happen.

  People should be better, and should have some fucking grace and consider that maybe said person has a hard time speaking, or yet again worse, is mute.

    I always put the divider down behind my stuff, line behind me or no, and expect nothing in return from the people behind me. If the person in front of me can’t be arsed to put the divider down after theirs stuff, it’s fun to see how many of my iitems get scanned before they get to have the awkward conversation with the cashier. Yes I’m normal and well adjusted, why do you ask?

    Yes, that’s why you have to practice. I got over mine by working in a hifi shop when I was 16. You have to speak to people, practice makes you better

      I agree that we should all work on ourselves to the best of our ability, but I think the point myself and others are sticking on is the idea that this person deserves to be punished with revenge rudeness if they fail to perform politeness a specific way.
