Courtesy
10 items or less is a simple courtesy when you use the fast lane or the self checkout.
If you have a cart full of shit to scan through, at least the cashier will tell you to go to a different line (or they SHOULD). At the self checkout, 10 items or less.
The reason I’m so pissed off about it is because today we went to Wal-Mart and my dad only had 5 or 6 items to buy, but at all 4 self checkouts, and all the other lanes, had a ton of people. My dad has degenerative arthritis in his back, and his back hurts already without having to stand there for 5 minutes or more waiting for some bitch in the self checkout who has a cart full of shit. Simple fucking courtesy.
10 FUCKING ITEMS OR LESS PEOPLE.

Self-checkout lanes I did not think they had a limit to the amount anyways. If they did then yes she was most certainly in the wrong for being there, but I do understand your being upset. People are being more uncourteous and rude these days and it truly is annoying.
I thought everyone knew that you don’t go in a self checkout with a cart load of stuff. Wow.. maybe people are just getting dumber or they don’t think of anyone but themselves.
I hate that as well. Today, I have 1 item, a dozen M&M cookies from the local grocery store. I have to go to the courtesy counter to get them because I put them on an account. Well two people get there before I do and they buy lottery tickets…like hundreds of dollars worth and of course they are all scratch-off. I stood there patiently and thought they would move on. No, they had to belly up to the courtesy desk to scratch them. I just walked up and said “Other people would like to make purchases.” Because a couple people were behind me. The cashier said, “Thank you.” I wanted to ask why she didn’t make them move.
Simple solution. Install a cow catcher on the front of your cart. Proceed to blast Ludacris’ “Move, Bitch (Get Out The Way)” at high volumes.
I went to a crowded high school which had 4,000 students, so it was forced to give open campus to the upperclassmen. Unfortunately, this still flooded all the local resturaunts and businesses. The Jewel Osco across the parking lot had the absolute worst case of this. Literally, ten to thirty students to a lane. You could often leave a restaurant with your food/order/meal and it would be within ten minutes of having to go back in for class.
I sympathize dearly with you. BTW. Red hair is the bomb.
