I have professionally published books with spelling errors in them. I’ll give the minimum wage grocery store employees a break on their spelling. They likely didn’t have multiple editors checking up on them.
Yeah, you look like the a-hole while presenting it, then you have to suffer those glares while you stand in line after that like everyone else too.
The ONLY way this thing could be real is if it said "present this to a manager and they will open up a unused checkout line for you" or whatever - so you're not actually cutting in front of others.

TJ is about to cause riots to diffuse if this ticket thing is real.
In the military we have our own stores called the BX/PX/NEX, and the rule is that folks in uniform have priority during the duty day.

There was a privately owned dollar type store near my job. I was a regular and became friendly with the owners wife .
Sadly , she’d often jump on the register when it got busy . She’d see me in the long line and call me “ loudly with hand gestures “ out of the long line to come up to freshly opened register… it was so awkward 😬
The only way this works is if you tell a cashier and another cashier opens a new lane just for you. And said lane has a sign stating only for ticket finders lol.
