"I'd like a BLT baguette here with flora please" [I've been clever here, she always asks if i want flora, so I attempted to pre-empt the question]
"White or brown baguette?" [Doh, I forgot about that question]
"White please."
*lady fumbles with baguette and butter*
"Do you want flora?"
"Yes."
"Do you want salad with that?" [At this point I'm wondering if she knows what BLT stands for]
"Errm... Yes, anything is fine" [however, bacon and lettuice would be the traditional option here. At this point i'm starting to get a bit narked that there are so many questions]
"Would you like cheese?" [at this point i'm rather confused, as I don't think there is a letter "C" in BLT?]
"Umm no thanks, does anyone ever have that?????"
Cheesy BLT weidos and non-listening staff. Grr.

It's their routine. Go in sainsburys and hand them your nectar card with your credit card, and they'll still ask "Do you have a nectar card?"
From experience as a checkout monkey while a teenager, its one of the ways to get through the terrible tedium (one I used on Sundays when working through the hangover)
It's easy to work up a routine and then respond to the prompts you give customers rather than actually paying attention to what they say. After all, parsing a whole sentence in one go can be a bit tricky! Doesn't make it any less annoying though
