Most stores that have an express lane won’t make a big deal out of someone who has well over the number they should have. They are more likely to go ahead and ring them up and then apologize to the other customers after the offending customer leaves.
I find that many customers will let (or at least invite) others who have a lot fewer items than they have go ahead of them.
If he’s going to supposedly pay for ten at a time, I think he should pay for ten and then go back to the and of the line to pay for the next ten. And then go to the back of the line yet again to pay for the next ten after that …
Unfortunately in the western society it is all based on the honor system. The store has no legal power to enforce that sign. In fact most stores would value big spenders more than somebody who just buys a small item. However in communist countries if you disobeyed the signs you would be taken out back and your legs would be broken!
Taking larger loads through the ‘short line’ doesn’t both me. It’s the person who wastes time trying to find a wallet, then the money or card to pay for it. Like paying was a whole new process to him/her.
What ever happened to just reading a comic, laughing, and going on to the next one instead of weird political comments? “However in communist countries if you disobeyed the signs you would be taken out back and your legs would be broken!” ???

Ha ha ha ha… the sign says “Ten Items of Less” when it should say “Ten items or Fewer”.

A lot of people will argue that proper English is “10 items or fewer” as opposed to “10 Items or less”.

Reminds me of the old Pace Picante sauce commercial that ends with, “Get a rope!”

I was once in a men’s room at a restaurant where one of the urinals had a sign reading “Express Line—3 beers or less.”
