Why don't they have an express line at the food counter for people who

$850 worth of stuff in my cart and there were 30 people in the food
line, most who just walked straight in off the street, for a cheap
lunch. I just left hungry.


How about an express checkout line for that matter? For people who
only have 6 things?


Our local Costco used to have a self-service checkout for people with
the Costco/Amex credit card. It was the fastest way to get your stuff
and get the hell out of the store. They got rid of it, I suppose
because since every Visa card is now accepted, just about everybody
could/would use it.

The store/parking lot is almost always mobbed, so I can't see most
people making the effort to get in there only to grab a $1.50 hot dog
and soft drink or other cheap deal. Not worth the aggro.
