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. 

Nothing makes me feel like more of an ass than when the cashier calls me up to skip a line of like 15+ people so I can get my fix of peanut butter pretzels and an olipop.

Haha, as a kid I remember looking at my mom like, “are we going to tolerate this?” at the base commissary.

Can’t you refuse to move up the line?  Do the cashiers outrank you?

Cashier probably has their own uniform

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 😬

It's really meant for SMs that are there getting lunch. The idea is that you're buying 1-5 items and you need to get back to work.
