Most awkward/hilarious combination of grocery items

I've always wondered what the most awkward/hilarious/disgusting cashiers at gas stations or grocery stores have seen. I know some people go to Walmart for the sole purpose of pranking the cashiers. I think the some of the best I've heard were apples and razor blades during Halloween, diapers and a 6-pack where you pretend you don't have enough money and tell the cashier to keep the diapers and ring up the 6-pack, pregnancy tests and coat hangers. Any of you have personal stories and/or imaginations that can add to this list?

Seven years ago, I was working as a cashier at HEB. One night, a customer in his late teens/early twenties came through my line with only a box of condoms and a tube of KY Jelly. This combination of items isn't really odd -- it's fairly common, actually -- however, the typical customer will normally include them with a slew of other groceries so they aren't quite so obvious.

However, even by themselves, the items aren't out of the ordinary. What made this transaction particularly memorable was that the customer happened to be wearing a shirt that said "spank the monkey" -- with a picture of a monkey holding a peeled banana in the most strategic and suggestive of positions -- and, just before he left, he asked me if we carried any Penthouse magazines.

I always assumed it was some kind of prank, or bet, or hazing ritual.

There was one time when I was working at a grocery store up in Lubbock where a guy came through the express line right before closing with a whole chicken, and asked if we had a room where he could try it on. He got it from an old comedy skit, but it was still priceless.

In an HEB once in San Marcos where two girls were obviously sizing the vegetables for later that night.

When I worked at OfficeMax I had a customer with red eyes dressed in baggy jeans and a black sweatshirt come in and request an electronic postal scale. He wanted to make sure it weighed in grams. He then bought razor blades, rubber bands, and Ziploc bags.

He was agitated when we didn't have the tiny Ziploc bags....

Ha! He must take his postage seriously if he's putting the stamps in tiny ziploc bags. :p:

When I was 16 years old, I worked in a drug store about the size and looks of a Walgreens or CVS store. It was late one night and the store was empty of customers until this 60 year old man comes into the place. He walks up and down every aisle not picking up anything. I start to watch him because I think he may be up to something because he keeps looking back behind him and ahead of him in between quick glances at the shelves.

Eventually, he makes it to where I am restocking shelves and while not looking at me, he leans over and whispers, "Do you know where the condoms are?" Unfortunately, without trying to be funny or a smartarse, I responded immediately with, "Why?" as most teenagers would do when asked something they didn't understand the reasoning behind. His response was, "I'm old, not dead."

I then showed him where they were and begged the checkout girl to ask for a price check over the intercom, which she refused but she couldn't stop smiling the whole time he was checking out. :D

About a year or so ago, I saw a woman buying 30 frozen broccoli and nothing else. Obviously, she has mental issues dealing with her weight.

oh i will add that at various times i had boys no older than 12(10 or 11 most likely) by condoms/ky and girls no older than 14(again probably younger) by the same things. one guy around 14 asked if we had any magnum with about 4 people in line behind him. im inclined to believe him cause most of the time if they are under about 16 they would be as shy as could be about it, wont look you in the eye etc. but this kid asked with as much confidence as i had ever heard a 14 year old speak with lol.
