re: #311 gwangung

Yeah, pretty much so. I tend to shop 10 items or less, all items pretty well known. Straight forward, down to bagging them.

just to kvetch, i saw this in whole foods the other day at the self checkout line

scan, beep put down, repeat ad nauseum
tick tock tick tock
open wallet, find credit card, process card, etc
put credit card away
take a bag
put an item in
put the next item in
etc etc etc

must have taken more than 4 minutes

i stand in line with card ready, i mean I know i’m gonna….
scan and place in bag - again i know i’m gonna…

im through in a minute

ps - at publix in the cashier lanes, i put my c/c in the slot after the first item is scanned. i’ve got my card back in my pocket before the cashier is done scanning and bagging.
