I've never seen anyone doing the decanting thing at a till, but people putting 11 items, OR A WHOLE FUCKING TROLLEY, through at the 10 items or fewer aisle are almost as disgusting a bunch of savages as the till staff who don't set fire to the fuckers but rather just let them get away with being disgusting savages.

I have never needed more than one basket, but surely BASKETS ONLY doesn't imply ONE BASKET ONLY. 10 items or fewer is a different queue.

nah it totally implies that, it's for people with less stuff than a trolley-full.

Ooooh, good point by Suzy, even if it is against the spirit of the queue.

If I had to argue the point in the field I'm sure I would prevail (I have successfully argued that the extra 5lbs in my transatlantic luggage should pass without charge because combined weight of luggage + me is still 150 lbs. lighter than the man served before me before we even discuss his belongings).
When peeved, I tend to go literal for LOLs. Example: when snippily told by some minion 'I'm afraid that isn't possible' I have been known to say 'feel the fear and do it anyway'.

Till staff want to sit, scan stuff, earn money, go home. Till staff do not want to say "excuse me sir I think you may have too many items" and risk having the entire queue held up by a dick shouting at everyone about what an outrage it is.
Strangely I am unbothered by minor infractions of airline rules, because airlines make a lot of money out of being hugely inconvenient to the customer, whereas in the supermarket it's the other customers who are inconvenienced.
(though I have wondered before now when carrying 11 items including 2 of the same product whether this counts - I decided not in the end but would've found it pretty jobsworthy if I had tried it and been called on it)

If the two items are a BOGOF it might only count as the one that's paid for.

nope out of my queue
― Not even if your arse had nipples (darraghmac), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 16:23 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh if you go up to the item number limit you are taking the piss a bit. The queue shd be called "sandwich, bag of crisps, drink, newspaper, fuck off".

I have had about nine items before, but in a trolley instead of a basket, and I have gone to the slow queue because I am too cowardly to confront THE SYSTEM.

those who created a system in which, when you want to contact a company's after sales service you reach a call center located on the other side of the world with people on the phone who don't have a clue about anything and make it impossible to get an answer/solution to your problem but it's useless yelling at because it's not their fault. a system in which the companies are virtually irresponsible.the people who created that system are DS...

Protip: if you want to avoid that and you're in the UK, just check for a number the company makes available to its local customers calling to deal with shit from outside Britain. This number will usually be an identifiable UK land line number answered by a real company employee, not some subcontractor or offshore call centre person.

(think I actually had 6 items and debated - but didn't use - a 5-or-fewer lane, mainly cz 11 is a bit far for me to count tbh)

Owners of a company who "deeply regret" that there are "no resources available" to provide severance to the people they're laying off...when said owners are directly responsible for the whole rotten mess...you people are the most revolting, disgusting savages and I despise you.

re: above, about the 10-items scofflaws, i saw a brassy cashier get lippy with a dotty old lady who had a cart full of bread and big bags of potatoes and i don't remember what all, but obviously more than 10 items. unfortunately the dotty lady didn't even seem to understand the questions -- "Uh, how MANY ITEMS DO YOU HAVE, exactly?" -- so the scorn was lost on her and she just continued piling her groceries up until the cashier sort of sighed and started ringing them up, glaring the whole time. but i was glad the teller at least made the effort.

Ah yes, don't know if ogmor meant in text or picture form, but people who answer an ILM question with a series of album covers I've never seen before with no artist/title on, all linked from Amazon so that even if you click Properties it just says "___zzzamazon2349582398.jpg" or something
People who stack the supermarket conveyor belt like Jenga: you are not going to get your stuff scanned any faster, but the top layer is going to fall on the floor or into my shopping, and if the bottles you have put upright (hello, the conveyor belt has about 6 notices saying not to put bottles upright) balanced on top of 3 boxes of cereal crush my breakable items when they inevitably fall over, I will hate you, and then laugh, and then hate you
