I have never seen cashiers ask such things. At most they'd ask whether I have the discount card or if I want one of the featured discounted items. Usually I don't miss anything when wearing headphones.

Same. Perhaps once upon of time, but I haven't met a cashier with that energy in years.

Which is great because I also don't like the interaction. My experience lately has been nodding and card flashing - maybe a "Credit" / "Debit".
