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 andÂ* the brand is more expensive and the search for some
pennies starts again.

And block the queue with their trolley or body leaving yards of
inaccessible empty belt.
Worse is taking the whole extended family shopping, having one trolley
with the shopping but them all standing in the queue at the checkout belt.
Then there is the person after loading the belt and reached the till has
found that they have forgotten the milk and sends their partner off to
"quickly" fetch it. 10 minutes later they return with the milk and a
dozen more items. I have seen in a Lidl branch where the till operator
has waited too long telling the customer to pay for what has already
been rung up and the missing partner returning with extra goods to join
the end of the queue.
Possibly those with financial problems, but people who only judge what
they can afford at the till by asking the till operator to cancel and
return items once rung up. It wouldn't be too bad if it was the odd item
but it does often seem to be people with £1.50 in their pocket to spend
turn up at the checkout with £100 worth of goods in a trolley, including
luxury items.
When you have a trolley full of goods NEVER let the person behind you
with only one item go in front. They will always have one of the few
items in the store that doesn't have a readable bar code. A second
member of staff has to be found to get another of the same item with a
readable code only to find that the customer has picked the last one in
the store.
