So many of us are too self-absorbed, as well.
I think the cashiers should be trained in a polite way to fend off the grandma showing pictures, etc., and keep the checkout line moving.

What an astute observation. So correct, and quirky3's as well. We are a little more social here sometimes in certain situations than we should be.
But mostly, it is a nice kind of interaction. Sometimes it is a lapse, not thinking of others.
