Reply #28: Checkout line annoyances... [View All]

people arguing or making a big deal over a few cents overcharge on the receipt (then it turns out they were wrong... as in they misread the sales flyer).

People in front of me who have one or two small items in their hands. I have a basket of a dozen items that I start putting on the conveyor belt. The belt starts moving before the other person gives their items to the cashier. My items are moving towards the front and the idiot ahead of me starts frantically trying to shove my items back. They give me a dirty look because it's creating a problem for them (like... maybe they should have placed their items on the belt to begin with?).

Person realizes that they forget to get something then leaves full unattended cart in check out line while they go and find the forgotten item (I got into a big argument with some woman one time when she left her cart and I moved it out of the way so I could pay for my items).

Supermarkets with a "12 items or fewer" and a "15 items or fewer" check out line (why a 3 item difference?)
