Or if you're me and put limes and lemons in the same bag?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I order my groceries online and ever have to stand in any lines at all.
Do you have to be home to receive delivery?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I will sneak into a second movie in a multiplex with no problem, but I won't go over in a checkout line. It makes ethical sense IN MY HEAD.

Nah, they just count through the bag.
I'm saving plastic! The environment!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, I don't want to encourage scofflaws who will inevitably be in front of me when I'm in a hurry.

Not if you have a doorman, but otherwise you do.
There was a woman who worked for Fresh Direct in one of my classes last semester, and it was fascinating.

Ten is not that express to me!
Oh it so is. I think you are warped by NYC-style shopping. Out here where there are plastic burbias nearby, even 20 items is express. Especially compared to that person with 2 teetering full carts over there.

Depends on the checker. And the quantity. I've certainly seen it go both ways.Or the store. Target registers are built not to ring up items by quantity, for issues of inventory control and, surprisingly speed. As someone who's been a cashier, it's faster to scan them individually for quantities under, say, ridiculous.
