I would do it. When I worked as a grocery store cashier I wouldn't mind a few items over, but coming in my express line with a full car? Yeah, no.

Ten Items or FEWER.

Those signs always annoy me.

Haha, yeah, me too. I tried to use this as witty banter with the cashier once. So yeah I recommend not trying to use this as witty banter.

[Stifko]

yes of course, multiple items of the same product count as one item in my book.

That's what I thought too. I felt kinda bad when the people behind me waited as the cashier individually ran 30 cans of tuna through.

You hit the nail on the head, and those spots are for new mothers and pregnant ladies. Try getting around after having a c-section or while carrying a basketball in your belly. Aint so fun.

After my wife had our child I told off many an asshole for parking there when they are just too lazy to walk.

Then i am helping you out by helping her lose weight faster during and after pregnancy. Everyone just wins when I park in that section

This doesn't look like a sentence to me.

Those are highly grammatical sentence fragments.

Same here. I'm the guy that chooses a spot on the far side of the lot, because there's more free space, and I don't mind walking. I never use an express lane at the supermarket, even though I will check a lane to see if the person has like 400 tiny items to scan. When I put my stuff on the belt I face it with the barcode towards the front, all grouped together so the clerk can do multiples instead of scanning each individual item. I figure I'm already standing there putting stuff on the belt, another half second of work for me makes their job easier and gets me out quicker.

I put the heavy stuff on the side of the belt closest to the cashier.

Live free or die!

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

stores around here often say "About 10 items or less"

i hate hte self checkout. its always full with the one person with a full cart and has no fricken clue what they are sopposed to do.

the other day, I waited as a confused elderly woman ahead of me repeatedly tried to scan two eggplants....

then she had no idea how to look up "Eggplant" in the vegetable section....

you know, I tend to give the elderly the benefit of the doubt, but scanning vegetables?

Most of the signs for these lanes read, ?10 items or less,? and that's just wrong. The signs should read, ?10 items or fewer,? because items are individual, countable things.

Grammar Lesson: Less vs. Fewer

read it and weep

Yes, I meant to imply: The sign should read "Ten Items or Fewer"

Poor wording. (Also another sentence fragment)

 

[cthulhu]

I have before but not normally. If it didn't take twice as long to wait in line at the register than it did to shop, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
