    I’m autistic, rules are rules. The divider provider must be acknowledged.

    Voice is improved with practice. Join a toastmasters,or learn to sing?

      Putting the divider down is also polite. Why are we expected to always be the most polite or suffer cruelty if we don’t comply? It’s a two-way street.

      And my voice is fine. It’s the presssure and anxiety of the situation. The nervousness makes it harder to speak loudly.

      The point here is that removing the divider after having placed it simply for the person not thanking them is petty at best and cruel at worst, and it simply shouldn’t happen.

      People should be better, and should have some fucking grace and consider that maybe said person has a hard time speaking, or yet again worse, is mute.

        I always put the divider down behind my stuff, line behind me or no, and expect nothing in return from the people behind me. If the person in front of me can’t be arsed to put the divider down after their stuff, it’s fun to see how many of my items get scanned before they get to have an awkward conversation with the cashier. Yes I’m normal and well adjusted, why do you ask?

        Yes, that’s why you have to practice. I got over mine by working in a hifi shop when I was 16. You have to speak to people, practice makes you better

          “I did something great, you must now do it or you are less than me 👋”

          Now let me condescend to you with advice that you don’t want from a pretty obviously petty person that overcame one small flaw

          Sounds great! Where do I sign up!

          Yeeeeeah fuck off with that

          And I’d tell you that, in person, both assertively and clearly

              Yeah you clearly don’t have offline friends

              New flaw found! Gotta practice not being an asshole

              I overcame it when I was just a boy, you should practice more!

              Edit: I just couldn’t resist

                I think you might be taking this personally and not really understanding what it’s like.

                It’s you that is lacking compassion.

                Couldn’t resist what? Being a massive bell end? Are you autistic? No? stfu then

      Also autistic : Rules are a construct we ourself shape and create in order to archive the illusion of control over the raw anarchy that is the reality of free will and sovereign thought.
