Ok, today is about the express lane so I'll try to make this quick (ha ha). The express lane is for the convenience of customers who have just come in for a few items. Hence calling it the express lane--to imply that customers can get in and get out of the checkout line quickly (duh). So here are a few things to keep in mind when going through the express line at the grocery store:
1. For those of you who don't know the express lane is for people purchasing 15 items or less. People behind you will tend to get upset if you try to "pull a fast one" by going into the express lane with much more then 15 items. I had a customer once who came through the express lane with something like 30 cans of cat food in addition to some other groceries. When I politely (and I really was polite about it) mentioned that it was the express lane she said, "Oh, but the cat food is just one item." Ummm, no lady--news flash--each individual can of cat food is one item. That's just how math works. If you're gonna crash the express lane at least own up to it.
2. Just an FYI. It seems to me that the absolute worst time to try and dash into the grocery store to pick up a few quick items is Sunday morning between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 in the afternoon. My own personal theory is that people who have just left church on Sunday morning stop by the grocery store for a few quick items before they go back home. But whatever the reason the express lane is always mobbed on Sunday morning so don't expect to get out of there too fast because the line is neverending on Sunday morning.

Take care and happy shopping
