That time a cashier told me to slow down with my coupons

I used to be that person fumbling through a stack of coupons at the register while everyone behind me sighed. About 6 months ago at the Kroger on Elm Street, a cashier named Diane just looked at me and said "honey, you're making this hard on yourself." She showed me how she sorts her own coupons by category before she even leaves the house. I started doing that and it cut my checkout time from like 8 minutes down to maybe 3. Now I don't feel that panic when the line moves faster than I can find the right coupon. Has anyone else had a random cashier give you advice that actually stuck with you?

Diane sounds like a real gem. Did you end up changing anything else about how you shop based on what she said, or was it just the sorting tip that stuck? Seems like that kind of practical advice is rare these days when everyone's rushing.

Man, it's wild how rare that kind of patience is anymore. Diane really sounds like she made a lasting impression, which is hard to do when everyone's just trying to get through their list. Glad that one tip stuck with you, honestly.
