Another reason not to go there, then. What's the point if the checkout
operators go faster than you can pack?


In the US of A, the checkout ops do the packing too.


They do here too. They have bags that they put stuff into as its scanned.

And it's still quite quick because they whizz stuff through the scanners
at a much higher rate than here.


The problem isnt the scan rate, its the queue.
