Unfortunately, it's more of a simple reminder for those shoppers that think they "can just cut in line" when they don't meet the spirit of what the store is trying to do. Betting 99.5% of shoppers actually know how to count to 15.......

I think at a Kroger the other day (it might have been a different supermarket chain), their Express line said 'about' 15 items or less. The guy in front of me had 27 items (I counted while they were ringing him up). I wanted to ask him if he felt 27 was about 15 or not.

It wasn't, and I guarantee he knew it - just decided the rules didn't apply to him because "he is entitled"......

The issue is that far too many believe "they are entitled".....

People are rude and ignore it. If there are people in front of me, there is always at least one with more than the limit. Target has given up. Their sign says "about" 10 items.

It could have been that Tennis2K dude that posts on here. He has an issue with math and rounding.
