Awkward Customer Service

I hate shopping, with the exception of grocery stores.
There's always a handful of awkward-ish moments or at least bound to happen.

Let's illustrate just some of this awkward moments.

Scenario:
picking up a very important (ok, so it was my birth control) prescription.
Pharmacy tech: 
"we haven't seen you in a while *giggle, giggle*
Have you know, I'm only here because there's a slight conflict with my insurance mail-order pharmacy. Give me my birth control and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!  

Scenario:
buying hearing aid batteries at a big box store that's now bankrupt  :) Not really embarrassing situation as it once was. But I always get kick outta people when cashier's ring me up and I'm buying some hearing aid gadget. Awkward moments are bound to happen. 
Cashier: 
"WHAT are those for?" 
"hearing aid batteries" 
"Oh" *smug like*
Yeah


I am thankful that we live in a free country, where drugs are competitively priced and I can go to pharmacy next door. I suppose I am secretly thankful for self-checkouts as well.
