I was watching Mind of Mencia and he had a bit on paying cash for certain purchases so the government, or the credit card company, couldn't track it. Like a purchase of cat food and condoms.
Which reminded me of other purchasing stories I have heard. Everyone knows that most men won't purchase feminine products, but one guy my mom worked with said he didn't mind that, but wouldn't buy pantyhose. He said there would never be a clerk questioning whether or not he was using the feminine products...
My brother would never go into a store to only buy toilet paper, concerned that the clerk might think he was just really desperate to take a crap.
So what won't you purchase?

There's certain combinations of things that I'll look down into my cart and think, "Oh, boy...." Nothing really comes to mind, but I do know that up here, buying grape juice, yeast, and balloons all at the same time will get you some looks.
I'm just far to oblivious for crap like that. And I'd still buy porn if any of y'all asked me to.
I was just talking to Kink, and he was talking about how people will hide the condoms when they unpack their cart onto the conveyor. Like, they'll put the condoms down, but then they'll put something else on top of them. (Of course, his response was, "What's wrong with them? I'd be all proud, like 'Hey, check it out, I'm gettin' LAID!" Hee.)
Can't think of anything I wouldn't purchase, or would feel oogy about purchasing though. At least not for reasons like that anyway. I mean, you'll probably never see me in the checkout line with a carton of Velveeta, but that's a whole separate issue.
hmmm... I don't think there has been anything that I've been reluctant to buy at the grocery store. Probably because I worked at one all through High School, and saw all the weird stuff other people bought... :)
Yeah, I'll buy anything I need at the store, but I do feel a little self-conscious if it's something like condoms, or feminine hygiene products if it's a guy checker.
And yes, I would go (and have gone) to a store in a different town, or one I wouldn't usually go to, on occasion, based on the item I wanted to buy.
(But I did get a giggle imagining Pusher hiding some Velveeta under a multi-pack of ribbed-for-her-pleasure, flavored, neon condoms. Tee hee!)
(Also, I can't believe I've typed the word condoms twice on the internet now. I guess my prudish small town upbringing is showing through 'cuz I'm all feeling self-conscious about the word condoms. Get a grip, lady!)
