I never get in the express lane if I'm over. I put something back if I'm in a hurry.
I totally count, though.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One bag = one item.
Even if they're sold by the unit (like lemons)? Or if you're me and put limes and lemons in the same bag?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I order my groceries online and ever have to stand in any lines at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I actually get cranky when the express lane lets you have 10 items. Ten is not that express to me! It should be more like 7. And the sign should say "7 items or fewer." t /pedant

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That's what you say now.
Of course. I'm not wasting my social capital on freaking expess lane etiquette. I'ma use it up on something good like telling someone to get bent for no apparent reason!

Last time it happened to me, it was a new supermarket and I didn't notice the signage. The checker was way amused.

And then they have to take them out of the bag to charge you?
You're banned from the express lane for life, sorry. Well, only if you're in line in front of me.

Do you have to be home to receive delivery?

For Vons, you do. Not sure about others.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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?
Yeah, I've done both. (Wait, read that wrong, can't do teh first thing) Sometimes I count wrong or don't see something in my cart until I'm unloading. But that hasn't happened in a long time.
Recently, the only time I'm in the Express Lane is when I'm doing the check yourself out thing at Sav-a-Center. Which I love.
