    I was astounded the other day when I visited a town that had a nice busy grocery store. It was like what I imagine the 70’s were like. They had 20 lanes OPEN with cashiers quickly and efficiently ringing up items, much faster than I could, with baggers neatly and efficiently filling the bags. There were no waiting lines because everyone found a cashier lane to walk right up to as the last person was finishing up.

    It was ten times faster than a self checkout.

    I rarely see that anymore. Its usually one lone cashier and a bunch of people waiting for a self checkout machine.

      At our grocery store, their self checkout hates me because I apparently scan things too fast.

      I see that a lot in more expensive stores in more bougie areas.

      I don’t see it much at all in my poor bitch ass stores.

      Look at this shill for Big Little Town Grocery. We see your cards bud. Get your lobby-grubbering hands outta the thin-margin profits of real American heros of the grocery industry like Wegman’s and Walmart. These equals in saving the world from the theft of the predation of your marketshare dominance are of the forefront of ways to be as we can be all the mannerism of Christ it be! So get the hell on outta these parts boy, we got you on the split, y’get?
