Ralph's Grocery Store, corner of Doheny and Beverly in West Hollywood, California. The "Express" 15-items-or-less lane.

A 40-something man in all black pays for some cat food, then asks the cashier:

Man: "Do you guys sell stickers?"
Cashier: "Stickers?"
Man: "Yes, stickers. With pictures on them, or designs?"
Cashier: "I don't know."
Man: "How can you not know?"
Cashier: "I don't know."

Moderate pause; Man leaves with no further discussion.

The next customer, an elderly woman buying produce, begins to write a check for her purchases.

Cashier: "Paper or plastic?"
Woman: "What?"
Cashier: "Would you like paper bags or plastic?"
Woman: "Are there any other choices?"

Extremely long pause, until a bagger appears at the end of the conveyor belt and begins to put the items in a plastic bag, with no comment from the older woman.
