The other day, I was at Publix, buying some antacid and milk, in the express line. An older man was working at it, and right as he started taking me, this woman with about forty items in her cart started coming in. As she brought the cart in, she went from the back, where you normally push it, to the front. Then, she started pulling the cart in with her back to us, completely covering the front to where you could not see her groceries any longer. The cashier, who had also seen this ploy, yelled, "Maam, I'm sorry, but it's ten or less, and you have way more than that!" She first looked startled, then pushed her cart out of the line, and left in a huff, with a pissed off look on her face.
Apparently, this is a new ploy of getting around the "10 items or less" rule, and the cashier even told me he sees this at least twenty times a day. A person will get in front of their cart, then walk backwards into the line while pulling the cart forward, and then by that time, half of their shit is unloaded to where it is too late for the cashier to stop the customer from coming through.
People certainly are clever these days.
