No . What slows down checkouts is bloody women who (a) wont look for their purse until asked to pay and (b) then spend 1/2 hour looking for that last penny in said purse.

And while doing so find a forgotten voucher for 5p off a different
brand of Coffee to the one they bought and send accompanying brat back
to the aisles to swap it over, the cashier then points out the voucher
has expired and the brand is more expensive and the search for some
pennies starts again.
