G) – something else---please specify!!!

Answer 1

All of the above... PLUS

People that have many more than 15 items!

People that have to pay with change, Not exact change, but that pull out the sack of pennies and start counting!!!!

People that are on food stamps (or whatever that is called) and have candy bars and sodas and try to get a pack of smokes using their card and argue with the cashier that "They used it before for this!"

The coupon freak, The person that has a coupon for every item in their cart, but half of them are expired or they didnt get the right size or right amount to be able to use the coupon and they argue with the cashier about it!

Answer 2

All the above except B it's 15 items or less so 15 items is just fine. I do get upset with the people who can't count and have more then the 15 items. I was in line day it was 12 items or less and the lady had 18 items in her cart then added 2 magazines they had sitting there and 4 packs of Candy for her two screaming brats.

Also why dose it seem that they always have the slowest person in the place working the express lane.

Answer 3

A and E for me. As for G, I know this won't be a popular answer, but people with WIC coupons. I have nothing against WIC or foodstamps, but then the cashier has to stop and log in writing what the item was, price, etc. Over and over again for each coupon. All I'm saying is that they should pick another lane because all that paperwork does not make it an express lane anymore. I don't mean to offend anyone.

Answer 4

The one thing people can do that would be nice, is if you have a full basket of groceries, and there is a person behind you with a few items, allow them to go before you. I do this all the time. I can't see someone with three or four items standing there waiting for me if I had a boat load of groceries.

Some cashiers are nice, some are just putting in their time, no smile no nuttin. It would at least be nice to have a thank you.

Answer 5

g- supposedly you're in the express line because you want to expedite the whole shopping issue. So some idiots stand on line for a time, watch their items being scanned, listen to the cashier announce their total, and then, only then, do they start digging in their oversize Gucci pocketbooks for their wallet/checkbook/coin purse. Talk about LaLa land!

Answer 6

D) People that know the cashier on a personal level and decide to engage in a 14 minute conversation??

Answer 7

It's DEFINITELY D. This is especially annoying when, after this person *finally* leaves, the cashier doesn't even speak to me--not a "hello" "how ya doing" "kiss my @ss"...nothing.

Coming in close second is C. It's PENNIES. I could see if they were overcharged by a dollar or more, but come on--a few cents??

Answer 8

The person that has 20 items, then waits for the cashier to scan everything before they start rooting around looking for their check book.

Answer 9

I think you pretty well covered the gamut of supermarket checkout annoyances but don't you just hate it when you have nearly the maximum items and you're the only person in line and somebody comes up and says "I only have this, can I jump ahead of you?"

Answer 10

G - the person with more than 15 items
