I saw this gem of a couple this past Sunday, when we had to run out to the Wal-Mart near us for some basic necessities. All told, we had 6 items in our cart, so we chose to go through the Express Lane. 20 items or less. There were two carts ahead of us... From the same couple. The woman had one cart, I don't know how many items, but her husband's cart... I stood there counting, I think I counted 41 or 42 items Mother and I were pretty cheesed at them, because apparently they were either incapable of reading '20 items OR LESS' on the sign, or didn't think it applied to them. When we got up to the poor cashier, we expressed sympathies to him and asked why he didn't turn them away... He said they were already in line. I mentioned the wish that the express lane registers would automatically stop ringing at EXACTLY 20 items, but alas, people would probably complain that they can't ring up their 40+ items in the 20 items or less lane..
Really, though... If it says 20 or less, it doesn't mean bring up two carts with 40+ items...
