Yes, they have them, but I don't put them on the belt until all my stiff
is on the belt. These people were loading their stuff on the moving
belt before I had emptied my cart, so their stuff was moving down the
belt and getting mixed up with mine. I don't think it is a terribly
radical idea to wait until the person ahead has unloaded their cart.
It's not like they are getting through any faster.
