People that have a "No Reserve" auction but put a starting price of $2000. Hello, this is a reserve price if you ask me!

    This is so minor I almost hate to post it but here it is"
    I hate for the check out clerk to give me my ticket with my change, I E: here is 15 dollars in bills, your ticket receipt and then your change on top of that. Why not just put your receipt in the bag and give you your change? Life is so difficult where I live. Tom

    I have a manager that works for me, that likes to talk over you when having a conversation. My wife does this too. I always tell them, whenever your done, I will finish talking.[:(!] Today, I just stopped talking to them. My manager asked me a question and I just looked at him. He said, whats wrong??? I said, I would tell you, but you will just talk over me. Did that to the wife tonight too and now she refuses to talk to me[:D][:D][:D] I love silence and peace and quite. This is my biggest pet peeve. What's one of yours. Oakie

    I hate when they put the change on top of the bills, it is so much easier for them and you if they hand you the change first, then put the bills on top of that.

    With all the crap you get back from gocery stores now - reciepts, coupons, etc, it would be nice for them to put that in the bag.

    This is especially bad in the drive-through.

    I hate it when I'm standing there and when they reach out with the change I go to take it and they lay it on the counter, pisses me off.

    because people leave receipts in bags and throw it away. then, when idiot consumer gets home, they go back and yell at store owner saying 'clerk didnt give me a receipt.' time wasted. time is money.

    it is etiquette to put it in the idiots hand, so everyone knows where it is. its basic transaction rules. hands to hands. and this way it is known to be store policy by all staff. so when idiot consumer tries to say clerk didnt give a receipt, idiot doesnt get benefit of doubt from store owner, since he knows everyone on his staff does what he says.[:D]

    but one must ask, if thats a peeve, then why wouldnt you mind if the clerk doesnt just throw the change in there too?[:0][;)]

    remember a few years ago, some stores made machines that rolled out the money in a dish for you, so the clerks wouldnt haveto touch consumers slimmy hands. and everyone whined then, saying they demanded they be handed their money. geeh, ya just cant win.

    when you put all the paper $$ you have on the counter, so you can pull out the coinage, and the clerk just grabs the whole wad of $$ like that's what you were giving them in the first place and starts counting it. I never let that go, almost got in a few fights with uppity clerks.

    I wish they would count back the change.... but nope,...they had you your change and receipt all in one lump sum...

    Even if they said, " you have 15.34 in change" and then counted it so you see you are getting 15.34 back, instead of 5.34 and a receipt...

    I'm right there with ya'!!! Every time they hand everything over in one hand, I'll stand right there until I get the change in the pocket, bills in the wallet, and the receipt wherever I want to put it... sometimes bag, sometimes wallet.

    I hate having to pay for things when I leave the store. Its just too much trouble to get out my wallet and remove the money. [;)]

    What I really hate is the filthy, crusted door handles at most store entrances. The ones without automatic openers where you have to somehow touch the door to get in.

    ...Drive-up window and a windy day. They give you the bills first and expect you to somehow cup your hand to receive the coins. Give me the durn coins first, and I can grasp the bills with my thumb and fingers. It's not that hard of a concept, is it?

    When I worked in a grocery store, my biggest pet peeve was when women would hand me money kept in their bra, or in some cases hand me money from where their bra should have been. Nothing like dollar bills damp with boob sweat from a Texas summer[V]

    I guess I don't have to worry about that. I have all but deleted paper money out of my transactions. I have a debit cad with protections. So change in my hand is not an issue. If there is question on and item I have a document backed by the bank to prove it. And best of all, if I get home and find out something is junk and they have a fit about returning it, like Best Buy often does witht there 15% return policy, I just stop payment.

    What, half of them can't even count it out of the drawer when the computer tells them how much to give ya back, count it again?

    I hate it when you buy 3 things at Target and they give you a receipt that is 12 feet long and has 62 coupons for stuff you never buy and ads for the local 24 Hour fitness.

    MAN I hate that.

    Your point is, you don't know where you want the reciept but the money goes in the wallet and coinage in the pocket.
