You can get all your shopping into *one* crate? I use a one of the
full size trollies and even on a small weekly shop it'll be half
full, a big shop (like yesterday stocking up for the best part of a
fortnight ('cause of this stupid fing 2 week nationwide shutdown) it
was full.

Usually I can fill the crate faster than the checkout operator can scan.

Good checkout operators pace themselves to the packer. Occasionally
(a new) one doesn't and short of picking up each item and lobbing
straight into the trolly you don't stand a chance of keeping up with
them.
