Now personally - if I see a fresh cashier coming into the fray and I'm not right at the front, I'll gamble and pull myself out of line ready to jump on their cash. No guilt then... it was my gamble!

It makes us happy that you are happy because we do this. I’ve worked at a grocery store for the past 7 years and am now a manager. It makes us happy that you are happy because we do this.

This way, I can pull out my wad of coupons and not have anyone glaring at me while I chop at least $5 off my order...

It used to happen all of the time, but now it seems conventional to let the second and third people move over before the free-for-all commences. Anyone else notice this?
