Hot take: If you're immature enough to be embarrassed buying condoms, you shouldn't be having sex.
Seriously, the checkout assistant couldn't give two shits about you, you're just another face they'll forget the second you walk out the door and that's if they have their brain switched on while working what is a very repetitive and mind numbing job.
We all gotta start somewhere. No need to shame people for something many experience.
It’s not about maturity.
Society has this bad habit of conditioning people for or against certain ideologies, and sex and contraception are two hot button topics that could easily make a timid person even more intimidated. There is also the gossip factor in case the person is going to a store with people they know working or shopping there, and are concerned about “word getting around” about them being promiscuous.
Meh, that's not even a lukewarm take. It's a common sentiment.
BUT
It won't make embarrassed teenagers any less horny.
