It is to stop items from accidentally getting charged to the wrong person. It benefits both people. I never expect a thank you for doing it. If something gets charged to the wrong person, everyone gets screwed. You, the cashier, and this idiot. Now everyone has to wait for the cashier to void the transaction and call a manager over. Congratulations, you played yourself.
Memes
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

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...
Am from Germanu and this reads like absolute asshole behaviour TBH
Just for fun I would have considered not putting the divider in so they had to make sure they told the cashier when the last item was, or pay for stuff they didn't want.
Yeah, try that at an Aldi with the lightning speed cashiers.
Does Amanda not do shopping? You place the divider behind your shopping. It’s Tesco Woman’s turn to put the divider, she’s in front. If he places the divider in front of his groceries, she should say thank you.
I just had someone not hold the door for me, after I held the door for them and they acknowledged it, and said thank you. 🤷
I was walking towards the entrance of a building, texting on my phone and didn't realize someone was walking behind me as I got to the main doors. So I apologized to the woman (for being in her way), put my phone away and held the door open and let her go in first. She said "thanks!"
Then we went through the 2nd set of inner doors she opened the door and didn't bother holding it open for me or look back or anything. Just pulled it open just enough for her to squeeze through and let the door start to close in my face.
People are fun.
