Sadly, at my store, the blinking light is to attract more customers to the Express Lane.
Seems as if it attracts more if the light is OFF and something is blocking the lane when I'm behind the kiosk, working cigarettes, because on an almost daily basis I'll have some moron wander over with their cart, move the spinner rack of chips out of the way, and start unloading their cart without so much as a "Are you open?"
It's to the point where I'm about to make a neon sign to hang around my neck reading "I am NOT a cashier. Do NOT ask me to open a register."
But then, knowing how braindead some of our customers can be, they wouldn't pay attention.
