Practically never in my whole live, standing in thousands of checkout lines, have l heard anyone say “Thank you” to another person placing a divider.
Maybe under very special circumstances that primarily had nothing to do with the divider itself.
It is in both person’s interest to place it, so the the one who has the opportunity to do it just does.
Had I encountered the woman from the post, I just would have classified her as mentally not entirely stable and kept my distance…
I had a girl say thabk you to me three days ago. But that was because I put the divider down and then used it to drag my stuff towards the cashier to make more space for her stuff.
Which is totally ok!
Although I would either be slighty confused by it or more likely wouldn’t even register it at all, as not expecting thanks to be directed at me.
After all, placing the divider is somewhat of a selfish action on my part, omitting later stress…
Home Bargains is British, isn’t it?
So maybe region-dependent custom.
Here in Germany I would judge it to be equally uncommon both in cities and the more rural areas.
Yes, it is. I had assumed you were British, since the tweet is also about a British, albeit multinational, store chain. My bad, perhaps I should’ve looked at the instance you’re from.

Have probably heard thank you more often than not in California
It’s like saying thank you to someone for flushing the toilet.

That’s one of the exceptions I was thinking about. Looking at someone and deciding to do something beneficial specifically for that person.
I say thank you when people put them in front of me, including the cashier.

Do you live in a city? In the admittedly pretty large village I live in, I hear it almost every time I go to Home Bargains.
