Today, I put one of those checkout dividers in front of my groceries on the conveyor belt in the supermarket. The guy standing in front of me turned around, looked me straight in the eye and said "I don't trust you." as he put a second divider between our groceries. FML

Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Today, the self-checkout machine at the grocery store kept yelling, “PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAGGING AREA” while I frantically tried to scan everything. An employee came over and said a bit too loudly, “Ma’am, you have to scan the condoms before bagging them.” Of course there were people around to giggle. FML
Today, I went to the Asian Grocery. I politely smiled, bellowed, “Hello!” and kind of waved to the cashier as I walked in, to which he gave me a blank, scared-for-his-life kinda look. Turns out he was actually just another customer. FML
Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML
Today, I was using self-checkout at the grocery store, and the machine flipped out and started randomly announcing, "Please wait for assistance." No one came to help, but the machine just kept loudly repeating it until everyone stared at me like I was trying to steal grapes. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML
Today, at work as a cashier, I was scanning cantaloupes. The man buying them then looked me straight in the eye and said, "Nice melons." FML
Today, while in line at the grocery store, I was going over the witty but caustic things I wish I'd said in an argument earlier. Turns out, I was saying them out loud. The cashier gave me a weird look and said, “Are you okay, ma'am?” FML

That's hilarious. I love it and will make it a habit to do this at least once a week.

Then the person behind you stood there awkwardly because the dividers were both in use...

If that's how you become not trustworthy around a person like that it must be like walking on eggshells to live with a person like that

I'm actually the opposite. I get offended when people behind me put dividers up. In my mind I'm thinking "I know what my shit it is.. the operator isn't going to start scanning your shit too. I'm paying attention.. I dunno about you".. But in OPs case, he should have just said "I really dont care. I dont know who you are, and I'll never see you again in my life. I don't care what you think of me"

I used to be a cashier, and we don't always automatically know where one customer's groceries ends and another's begins, so the dividers are necessary for our benefit. We are usually too busy scanning and bagging (I had to do both a lot of the time) to pay a whole lot of attention to what items belong to whom. We also usually work at such a fast pace that it is easy to accidentally scan someone else's item without it. I do not see why it is offensive for someone to use a divider though. All it is there for is to make the cashier's job a little easier. It isn't because they don't think you know which items are yours.
