This is a big pet peeve of mine.

Do people do not know how to read. I went to get 2 things at the grocery store, and get into the 20 items or less line and this person I'm not kidding has over 70 items in there cart.

Do they realize that the 20 items or less lines are not suitable for that many items. Plus the cashier has to bag all of there groceries. Of course it is going to take twice as long if they had gone to the other lines.

Just wanted to vent some frustrations. Have a good day.

before you start judging them, have you considered our nation's literacy rate?

I was third in a regular line when the 10-or-less line was empty, so that cashier waved me over. After putting 5 of my 50 items on the belt, a woman got in line behind me and kept blantantly looking back and forth at my cart and at the sign, but without saying anything verbally. When I finished and started walking away, she loudly said to the cashier, "here's an under 10 for ya!"

She sure told me.
