I usually cheat when I have the baby so, also in hurry.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Exactly! Same thing applies to "Buy One, Get One Free". They don't give one to you for half price, so you're forced to buy both.
You don't have to buy either!

If the tuna cans are packaged together or if they are coded so they only have to ring up one, fine.
Unless you're buying different brands, they always ring my multiple items up as the number of items times the price, and just scan the one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So then it's cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Depends on the checker. And the quantity. I've certainly seen it go both ways.

That.
If the four cans of tuna are shrink-wrapped, obviously that's one item. Four loose cans? FOUR ITEMS.

Oh, you have competent cashiers, do you?!
Around here, the better the economy, the suckier the service. Incompetent cashiers, all 2 of them with 40 million people in line, empty shelves, certain staple items bruised..... and that's at the NICE stores.

FTR - I'm not such a schmuck that I try to take like eleventy billion items in the express lane and then have coupons and write a check.
But what about fruit? That's totally one item since it's all in one bag and weighed together right?

Who here finds it possible to stand in the express lane and not count the items of the shopper in front of you?
Who here has ever apologised to the checker, other shoppers, or both for being over the limit?

That's what you say now.
One bag = one item.
