Do you mean have I had it get mixed up with mine? Nope. There are
separaters that look like rulers and most people use them to mark where
their items starts. The cashier will often put one out ahead of my
items when I start putting items on the conveyor if she's just about
finished scanning items from the person ahead of me. The system works!

All I can say is, I have better stores than you do and nicer customers,
too. I don't remember anything or anyone that rude when I lived in
Tennessee, either.

alternatives?
