"Sir, when I'm the only cashier, there is no express line." The SC left without buying anything, but everyone else in line understood the situation.

Seems like it would make more sense to put you on a regular till, then. At the very least they can't complain about people being over the express limit. (They'll complain that there's no express line open, of course. )

This particular day, it was a Monday, which is a day when a lot of vendors come to buy cigarettes for re-sale at their business. Thus, Express had to be open for that purpose.

Store policy at work is simple. 15 items or less at all times. From time to time my supervisors might wave someone over, but I'm strict on that and will only allow basket loads over. Why? Well, because our express checkouts are not equipped for a large load.

I was standing on line at some supermarket, on my lunch break, when I see the cashier motion this guy with a cart/buggy (NC word) full of groceries, in to her 15 items or less check-out. This woman, dressed to the nines, with Chanel shades, gets all huffed and shouts, "What are you doing in my line?!?!?! This is MY LINE!!! You have a full cart of groceries, and I ONLY HAVE TWO ITEMS!!! You're in my line!!!!!!!" We all just looked at the woman, with our jaws collectively dropped. The woman looked at all of us, shook her head, and stormed off somewhere, in a rather perturbed state. A lady next to me said, "My mama didn't raise me like that." I said, "Neither did mine."

I lived there myself for four years, and occasionally had exactly the same thought about some people.

From the way she described here, though, that sounds like a damntourist. You know that ones that seem to not realize that people actually live here.

Ah, yes. Although I have run into a few people (and know one person like this) who think they are a resident because they rent a casita for two weeks. I can usually suss those out pretty quickly.

Now, I'm all about not acting like a tourist, but there's a good way and a Bad way to do that.
