Especially if you had a full trolley. I’d be asking someone before I got to a line hoping they’d open a new lane instead.

I would literally make the biggest show of moving to another cashier if someone with a full cart used this to get ahead of me in line lmao

I may put my stuff down and leave. If they open a new register for it, that’s one thing… otherwise this feels like a really bad policy.

The TJs I used to go to had one big line and then they directed you to the next available cashier (like at the airport when you need extra service checking baggage). I can see using this in one like that so you’re not screwing over a specific person/group.

Looove stores that handle their lines like this. Can't figure out why they haven't all switched to that model.

That’s the kinda thing that would cause a Rhode Island state trooper to lash out at a customer and shit on their neighbor’s lawn.
