Why don't area supermarket's enforce the express line limit. I was at Wegmans the other day and some lady had like 15 items in the 7 or less line. Cashier said nothing. I had 2 items, I was disappointed.

because this area is filled with self loathing assholes.

Why did you not say anything or make it a point? your just as bad for letting this fuck face do this shit and not saying a word..fucking coward!

its not as bad as women who wont put down the cell phone while they try to juggle it and dig through their purse hunting for credit cards. They just keep blabbing away. How about you shove that phone up your ass.

How about the people who pay by writing a check. Always blows my mind.

Credit cards? Ha! You're lucky if that's the case. More like digging through that huge fucking suitcase they call a "purse" for 15 cents in change.

wegmans wont tell a customer they cant be in an express line if they have more items than what the sign says. a good manager would notice the situation and take you to an open line or open one up for you. next time tell them you dont want to wait and they will check you out themselves or take you to customer service desk to pay.

Kind of a coward way to get out of it..have some fucking balls.sack up and tell the cock sucker yourself. jesus christ, everyone is so agressive driving and at work, but when a person brings 20 items to a 7 item line they say nothing? bunch of fucktards around here.

The old people still do that refusing to pay cash or use those new fangled credit card things. They kill me when they ask who do I make it out to. Well lets see your in Safeway so make the check out to Giant ok.

Usually the people who ignore the express line limit tend to be pretty big assholes. My rationale was that I open myself up to punishment by saying something to the express disregarder.

Take out your cell phone and silently video (real or make believe) their items and their face. If they say something, just smile and say nothing. Or say "You Tube." They will get the message.

threw in the towel....the express lanes, the self checkout ones, had two 15 item or less lanes at the very end, the adjacent 3 were open season lanes.

so many times people would just stroll on up to the 15 or less lanes with 20, 30, 50 things. i once saw a couple with an overflowing cart in one.....i used to say something, sometimes direct if i caught the offending shopping prior to scanning, like, "excuse me, this is the 15 or less lane", and then motion behind me to the other half dozen people in line with 6 things to buy. the self abosorbed jerk usually would apologize and move to another lane, sometimes stay a jerk. other times i would be passive aggressive, and just blurt out "you gotta be kidding me?!", and a few times people would move lanes.

at any rate, that's all moot now, as this giant does not differentiate an "express" self check out lane(s) any more.

on the flip side, there's another equally annoying and self absorbed grocery shopping denizen. this is the clown, most often some dude, who has 2 or 3 things to buy and hawks over the self checkout lanes looking for a quick exit. he spots a lane ( not an express one if it's marked ) and moves in behind somebody. invariably there's a delay with the customer in front. something doesnt scan, need an ID check, whatever and mr. impatient gets all kinds of pissed off.

has happened to me several times, i'm a third of the way through my decent sized order and Mr. "I'm more important than you" sidled on up behind me. he thought i was an easy mark, going to be out quikly, not so. so he stands there, starts semi-pacing in place, then makes these frustrated grunts and sounds somehow thinking it's going to make me move faster. it doesnt, it makes me go slower. i would usually scan alcohol first, as a courtesy, so i can get the ID cleared faster. when jackass is behind me, my sixer of natty bo gets scanned LAST! then we all wait for the ID clear. LOL

I couldn't care less if someone is in the "express lane" with a pile of groceries over the displayed "limit"; I just get in whatever lane I think will be fastest with my well-under-the-limit number of items.

The problem isn't selfish misuse of express lanes, the problem is not enough lanes open to handle the set of customers wanting to check out.

Labor costs are killing customer service - from ATM machines replacing bank tellers to "self serve" lanes replacing checkout clerks.

Go to Target some day - about 20 or so checkout lanes, ONE open. Walmart, at least, does check outs right - they either have a boatload open or they are REALLY quick to open if the customer load warrants it.

I have also noticed that they like to put the slowest cashier at the extress lane yesterday I was at the store purchasing one item, I headed to the express lane (two people ahead of me) and was there for about 10 minutes waiting. The cashier was so extremely slow!!

This is a HUGE first world issue and something needs to be done about it right NOW!

I was standing in an express lane (15 items) and actually had 16.
The cashier could have cared less but a Vietnamese woman behind me
started throwing a fit. I told her that if it wasn't for guys
like me she'd be back in Nam working a rice paddy and wearing shoes
made out of rubber tires. She went into shock and for a minute I
thought she was going to attack me. She didn't but if looks could have
killed.....I looked back and said, "Xin Loi". :)

Not really. Where's their shower flipper shoes? Those boots must have
been stolen from the supply room.

When I see someone with a basket full of shit at the express lane I like to ask them which 15 items they will be purchasing. I've received some pretty pissed off looks but the laughter from other patrons makes it worth it.

When I go to the express lane, I no longer look at the number of items on the belt. I look at the age of the customer. Old folks still use coupons, argue about prices, write checks, balance their checking account in line, put on their rain slicker and wig cover, adjust their Depends, zip up their purse,ask for paper bags over their plastic bags and after writing their check, they decide that they need stamps. This requires another check writing episode.

Quite often, the newer employees are on the "Express Lines" getting experience doing alot of transactions and they are slow. The stores really want you to check yourself out.
