Near Lurker:
Either way, that is a really androgynous cashier. (I'm pretty sure we've seen at least one man with lips like that... I have it in my head he was a goth...)

Yay Marigold! Always great to see a "funny" strip to cut through the drama and angst.

I can rarely go into a supermarket without buying an extra something or other, and I'm not female. They MANIPULATE YOUR MIND, man. They get in your head.
Sidhekin:
In Norway, I have bought eggs in packages of 6 (2 by 3), 9 (3 by 3), and 12 (2 by 6).
I've seen the shops sell them in packages of 18 (3 by 6), 20 (4 by 5), and 30 (5 by 6), but I have never needed that many ...
I've heard of packages of 10, but I have never seen them.
And the only place where you might be able to buy a single egg, is from the farmer. A supermarket would be the last place I'd look. But hey, if our dear Farmer has other ideas ...
Carl-E:
Why aren't dozens sold n a 3x4 package? It's be more efficient and stable.
...because it would be harder to cut in half than the 2x6 packages. I've even seen them with dotted lines in the middle, and most are more thinly constructed in the center so they can be broken torn in half by the shopper who only wants 6.

Just look at the areas around the checkouts, which are filled with magazines, candy, soft drinks and other things you might purchase on impulse..

Many supermarkets are like that, I dare say most of them. It's really smart to put some of the most basic stuff like milk and eggs as far away as possible so people are forced to go through a large amount of products they didn't even think of buying at all.

Towards other people I'm very generous, I like to give.... But I'm not really generous with myself so when I go to buy something... I just go and buy that something because I don't like spending money on something I didn't think of spending on.
