i was a cashier at a grocery store in high school. i tried to put my foot down when i was on the express lane, but got no support from my superiors.

if they were the only customer in my line, i would scan all their stuff really slow and take as long as i could until someone else came in behind them. one time this woman seriously came w a cart FULL, i told her move it along sister - but she said something like "come on, the store closes in 10 minutes" - it was closing soon but i didn't care. i scanned about 15 items then rang my bell/turned on my light like i needed a manager's help to proceed.

I applaud your efforts.

Too bad you couldn't just flip your light off and walk away...just long enough for her to get in the proper lane.
