Trader Joe's checkout is The Worst. Thing. Ever.

I detest—really, really detest!—being forced to faux socialize with a total stranger who's obviously following a customer service philosophy aimed at creating an artificial small town and/or folksy atmosphere.

I am an introvert.  I will engage you if I feel like it.  Take my money, bag my stuff, and shut the fuck up.
