I understand not everyone has a debit card, but if you're are standing in line, the least they can do is start filling it out! (I don't mean you dogbert, I mean the other people, unless of course you do this too LOL  ) |
We don't use any cards it's cash or check (well one for travel/emergency), once you've had one stolen you learn to hate them. I do try to write out everything I can and have ID out by the time I am being checked out. I have written checks at the end of the belt, on the handle of the shopping cart, etc. But if I can't find a place to write or the person behind me looks over my shoulder I won't. If the place has carts I always put it behind me in line, that allows me space. A couple times someone behind me has walked right up to the spot to pay along with me and I just look at them and say Oh are you paying for mine too? Then they get a look on their face and step back.
