    the problem is whatever you throw in the cart with it is now evaluated in context of the condoms.

    Went to the pharmacy to get a box of condoms and they asked if I wanted a bag. I said “no thanks, I’ll just turn out the lights.”

    I once bought a dog collar and leash, a pack of darts, and a child’s car seat at the same time. The Target cashier looked at me hard before I put it together, then we both cracked up.

    Don’t you just hate it when the cashier thinks you’re getting ready to board Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride?

    Hot take: If you’re immature enough to be embarrassed buying condoms, you shouldn’t be having sex.

    Seriously, the checkout assistant couldn’t give two shits about you, you’re just another face they’ll forget the second you walk out the door and that’s if they have their brain switched on while working what is a very repetitive and mind numbing job.

      Meh, that’s not even a lukewarm take. It’s a common sentiment.

      BUT

      It won’t make embarrassed teenagers any less horny.

      It’s not about maturity.

      Society has this bad habit of conditioning people for or against certain ideologies, and sex and contraception are two hot button topics that could easily make a timid person even more intimidated. There is also the gossip factor in case the person is going to a store with people they know working or shopping there, and are concerned about “word getting around” about them being promiscuous.
