The shop I frequent has a deal where if you spend so much in a month you get a discount. As such, whenever I get a discount, I bulk buy to save on costs. However, I always feel really embarrassed with so many items at once. And I worry that workers/cashiers judge me – or just don’t like ringing up such a large shop at once. Like I’m wasting their time and taking up a lot of space. Is this a reasonable concern? Do retail workers actually have an issue with this?

It’s our job. It’s not even a thought. Unless you are making me bag them and being super critical about every item and how it’s placed in every bag, and which bag it needs to go in.
That is the job. They won’t care unless your shop is so large it keeps them there beyond closing time.
Once my grocery store ran a promotion where you could earn up to 5 10% off discount coupons, and you could stack them. Most people I knew just used them right away as they got them. But my husband and I saved them up until the end of the promotion period and bought 3 grocery carts worth of items at 50% off. No one seemed to mind. They never ran that promotion again.
They offer these deals to get you in the shop. As long as you are abiding by the terms, no one cares.
Don’t be ridiculous. You aren’t “wasting their time”. You are paying for stuff that pays their wages. They’ll are ringing things through all day. It doesn’t matter if it’s fifty customers or five hundred, as long as the money is coming in and it keeps them in a job.
How do cashiers feel about being paid?
