This surely has to be a 'photoshop' alteration.

The sign has been withdrawn because of the small number of patrons with three hands that have proved it to be ineffective.

Walmart signs are always hung up at Best Buy stores.

Look at the background.

Doesn't affect me. I boycott Wallmart.

I always consider asking people with too many items in the express lane "Is it that you can't read, or can't count?"

The real answer is they don't care who they inconvenience, as long as no one does it to them.

The reality is that the express lines are slower than the normal lines, because no one uses cash anymore, so the process of paying for the few items becomes the biggest unit of time in the movement of the line. Scanning is fast, and bagging is done by an assistant and then everyone stands around and waits for the machine to check with the bank or cc company to determine whether it will pay the bill.

I only use the express lane when there is noone else in it.

So how many customers with more items in their cart tell the cashier thy can't count that high because they have only TWO hands?

Emily is right about the time for scanning items, compared to executing the plastic card PIN/signature routine. Perhaps there should be cash only lines; but then, have you ever waited for someone looking for that last penny in the bottom of a purse?

The real question should be, Do I care enough about—literally—a few seconds wait for the scanning of a few extra items for someone who is elderly or handicapped, or perhaps truly pressed for time? Especially if the alternative is for them to wait behind one or more people in another lane with two or three shopping carts each filled with multiple dozens of items?

Or to put a more delicate twist upon it: Do I care how much I force inconvenience or discomfort on others to avoid the waste of even a few seconds of my precious time? If they have forty items, maybe. A half-dozen over? Lighten up.

Can't say as I blame you, sometimes, when I am shopping in Wal-mart, I look at all these people, and I think I might be the only non-democrat in the store.

The grocery store where I shop has checkers who will often engage customers in a little idle chatter that sometimes slows down the line. It used to bother me, then I realized I would much rather wait a couple of minutes extra while people are being real live human beings to one another.

Actually I think you would be hard pressed to find a democrat in Walmart. Walmart shoppers are Fox viewers and as such are all worked up over Obama the Kenyan socialist destroying Amercia who wants to take away their guns because he hates Amercians.

Oh yeah? Norm tell you that? or LJ? Y'all keep watching Fox, and keeps us informed.

Too funny. Based on statistics, 90+% of Black shoppers in Walmart vote Democrat. Or are Blacks invisible to you?
