It would be much more like the supermarket experience...
On the few occasions I visit the supermarket I sometimes manage to remember to bring some of the hard wearing permanent bags they sell. Only got about twenty of them now and they're usually full of anything but shopping or in the car where they should be.Comment

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Don't even start me on the ones who can't put the "Next Customer" divider down. Yes, I am going to put my shopping right on top of yours.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

FFS people, bottles should be laid down and orientated with the movement of the belt. If possible seperate them with a soft item to avoid clinking. Dont get me started on self service checkies
