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.

Maybe you just don't live in a place with so many bored seniors. My
FIL's day is Go to McDonalds for cheap coffee and talk to his friends
there. Then go to the mall and walk around for a couple hours. Then go
to a big box for a hot dog or a slice of pizza. Then go home for his
soap and the doctor shows. Then he catches an early bird dinner and it
is bed time.
This or something similar is a very popular lifestyle here for people
who do not play golf or fish.
