It would be interesting to know if the woman was forced to move to a
nonexpress line.
My market upped the express limit to 15 items. The day will probably
come when they eliminate express, as it's not enforced now.
One really NICE feature at my market is the ability to purchase a book
of stamps right there from the cashier. Saves me a lot of trips to the
post office. (Yeah, I know - some of you never mail a thing...I'd like
to know how you do it, same for "I never write a check", but that's
another thread). One of these days I'll write my market's home office
and ask for a bin where we can return those @$%# foam trays.
