You fucking morons why don’t you learn simple math count 8 items in the store not nine fucking eight you worthless fucker. The teller told you that you couldn’t use the line not because he was a fucking asshole but because you can’t count and the fact that you thought well nobody cares, nobody has said anything before doesn’t fucking matter you donkey fuck!
Get a grip and the rules apply to everyone!

Wow, were you in that much of a hurry that a guy ahead of you in the speedy checkout with one extra item makes you this angry? Seriously, what IS the big deal?
When there’s no one already in the line up, the girl should not take the person w/ one extra item, so that your royal highness won’t have to wait an extra 30 seconds to pay?
Must be nice to feel so entitled. I bet you road rage too…
Therapy, perhaps? Or maybe you should just shop late at night when there’s no lines.
um i reccomend valium for you bdddy…maybe some horse tranqs? rules are rules yes…and im a stickler for them but im not gonna lose my fucking mind when someone has a few extra items in a 8 item aisle.
i know ive been guilty a few times of grabbing an item or two on the way when i think im done to put me up over the limit. its not a habit but it happens. but seriously dude, chill out. heartattacks happen.
Unless you have a cart full of stuff, the cashier is just pulling a power trip by kicking you out of the line. It doesn’t REALLY take that much longer to ring in an extra three or four or even five items.
What slows the speedy check outs are the people who use their credit cards to pay for 3 dollar purchases. I’m pretty certain the number of people charging their groceries is higher than those using debit/cash. It’s kind of sad.
When I worked cash at a store that is super only the bitchiest cashiers who hated their jobs (or the most anal old bags) or the ones who thought they had some sort of power because they checked shit out and handled the store’s money would kick you out of the speedy line. And just a tip: it’s official policy of a store that’s super that once your stuff is on the belt the cashier can’t ask you to go to another cash. You could have 50 items, and as long as you’ve got your stuff on the belt they can’t say shit to you. So before you blame the cashier, just know their hands are tied in that situation.
What I get a kick out of is how they always seem to put the slowest cashiers on speedy at one particular grocery store chain’s location. Every time I go there: same cashier and she’s slow as fuck. Either she has physical problems that make it impossible for her to go on a regular cash (a lot of cashiers with hand problems can’t handle regular lanes), or the store just likes to REALLY piss their customer’s off.
What sucks now is standing in line at the bagless store waiting for the cashier to throw the customer’s rung in stuff into the burlap sacks.
yeah, that does suck… or when they don’t give the bags to the attendant so they have to scan, hand the items back, and then they fidget getting it where they want it because they don’t pack groceries but once a week….
Where the hell is it 8 items or less? just a hint if you can.
Everywhere I go is 10.
Yeah, you can’t blame the cashier on this one. More to your point, Kitty, Stuporstore pushes their credit card for everything, so blame the company for that. I can see debit purchases slowing it down, but they can remove the system if it’s slowing it down that much. In all honesty though, I’ve never run into a situation where I’ve found it to be a long wait for that kind of stuff… Just something to point out, just because you have 5 items, doesn’t mean that you have to go to the speedy lane… More often than not, I find that I can go to a normal lane and all the cashier is doing is cleaning the belt.
I was in Palm Springs California a couple of years ago. Whne you go to the 10 items or less isle, you get to ring in 10 items. The cah register at that point automatically totals your purchase & you have to pay. You want the rest of those items 🙂 go to the back of the line .
I thought it was a brilliant solution to asswipes who never learned to count (who are actually to damn inconsiderate of anyone but themselves )
I don’t think it’s the fact that it’s ONE item too many..it’s the friggin principle..that’s one of my BIGGEST pet peeves…people who abuse the 8 or 10 items or less lines…read you numbnuts…it says 8…not 12, not 25…EIGHT.
You people need to relax its 9 items not 50. Who cares sit back at the check out and check out a guy or gal whatever your preference, or pick your nose whatever…. you fucking idiots. Kelley Belly and kilo if you are in that big of a rush to get some supper/dinner down your cake hole, eat it in the store and bring the wrapper to the check out with you or just try to stay in the produce isle and snack on grapes until your rage subsides and its not like you probably couldn’t use some fresh fruit in your diet with all the anger. Retards….have a shite and relax
It is not the point of how much of a hurry or how hungry some one is, the point is that the line is for a few items, use to be called the express lane, not the take-your-fucking time and my time lane. Do not be so inconsiderate. Some people just pop in for a few items and pop out as quickly as possible. Not spend a fucking hour in line because of a few simpletons. Have your fucking cash or debit or credit card ready too. You know you going to have to pay once it is rung in. Not the time to be looking for currency. A cart load of groceries in an reduced item lane ( 8 or 10 or whatever the fucking number is), you fucking bitch or prick, whatever the gender. Self center, self entitled cock-sucker !! Fuck me !! IDIOTS
It’s just occurred to me that there is a parallel between this issue and that of designated parking for expectant mothers which is being hotly debated on another thread. As many people have pointed out, there is no law that says Joe Fratboy can’t park in the mommy spot while he runs in for some pizza pops and beer. Likewise, there’s no law preventing someone from going through the express lane with 20 items. It’s a courtesy. A convenience offered by the store to a certain group of people. If people take advantage of a convenience which is not meant for them, do the people it IS meant for have a right to be pissed off? A quick reading of the comments on this thread seems to indicate that they do. However, on the mommy-parking thread, the consensus seems to be that mommy can suck it. Interesting…
Stercus… I’m going to go with the fact that it’s all about volume though I do see the parallel.
Everyone is entitled to use the express… mom-to-be is quite a small subset, especially these days.
You’re also pissing more people off by being in the wrong checkout, unless there’s a lineup of cars waiting to use the mom spots… and if that were the case, you would have every mom ranting on this guy until he got the point. He likely wouldn’t have shrugged them ALL off and went on his merry way.
Either way, I like the observation you made…. makes you think about social norms… and I’m not sure how much my post here defends it. Just thought I’d take a crack and see if the debate picks up again.
My cake hole? Classy..really classy. And no I’m not in that much of a hurry to get home and shove food down my cake hole, I’m pissed b/c the express line is there for people with only a few items who shouldn’t have to wait for a moron in front of me to ring in their 30 items. If I had wanted to do that I would’ve stood in the regular line. Common sense you fucking moron.
