@Seaofclouds the longest lines I have ever stood on in my life are at the commissary. We try to always go with two people, so one can get on line while the other fills the cart. The commissaries I have frequented most are Walter Reed, MD and Millington, TN
@all I agree that part of it is store design for many cities, and they don’t adjust it well, for each city. And, changing cashiers is easier if at least one register is open.
@cockswain I worked in retail for years, and we dreaded that checkbook coming out. I can’t believe people still use them, or that any store still accepts them. I have less patience as the customer behind the guy paying with a check. Now with all of this emphasis in the media about throwing out your credit cards, I dread the thought that people will be using their checkbooks more again. I hope they at minimum use a debit card.
