Yeah, sorta like that suggestion to “Return Carts Here.” I prefer to park them right up against the car of the asshole I saw go through the express lane with 40 items. If it scratches the paint in the process, that’s too bad, but it’s the store’s fault for not making sure their carts don’t have sharp edges.

That is a tort and a legal wrong on your part. The store might be at fault, too.

Yeah? Well, catch me, asshole. What are you gonna do about it? Dust the cart for prints? :rolleyes:

Many stores video the parking lot.
You’re not even a good troll anymore.
[QUOTE=Two and a Half Inches of Fun]
The analogy is false. My transaction with the store is totally voluntary on behalf of both parties (myself and the store). If they do not want me to use the express line then can refuse my transaction. Either they accept my counteroffer to purchase the goods in the express lane or they do not. Just like if Circuit City has limit of 3 purchases of an item and they let me buy four. Sure it is against the original offer, but I made a counteroffer and they accepted. In the handicap parking case, we the people have made a decision that there are certain spaces that are reserved―no counter offers are possible.

Well, then color me the cashier that gets to refuse you service in an Express Lane with your 40 plus items, it would be quite gratifying.
Your premise is shit…just because the store won’t refuse your business because you’re being an asshole doesn’t make you any less of an asshole…but if it isn’t against the law, it’s OK, right?

And now we know where Bodypoet was. In line at the grocery store checking 800 items. That would explain an absense.
[QUOTE=Cluricaun]
Who the white piping hot fuck writes checks out of state anymore? And she wasn’t that old. I can’t even believe that they accepted it. I would have told her our store policy was that she can pay cash, debit or credit, or she can hustle back to Iowa and buy food there.
[/QUOTE]
Depends on where you’re at. My grocery store is about 0.5 miles from the State line. Not taking out of State checks would cut out a large number of customers.
Then again, in this day and age I think checks are pretty much the relics of the aged, the crazed, or the Missouri-mule-stubborn. Given that banks pretty much beg you to use their debit cards, I don’t even know why checks are used, except for occasional government/snail-mail transactions.

It is not not wrong because it is not against the law, it is not wrong because the store accepts my business.

You are a sociopath.
There’s also no law prohibiting me from cutting in line in front of you or leaving my shopping cart behind your car in the parking lot. It’s more convenient for me and it’s not illegal, so it must be okay.

I have to agree that it isn’t against the LAW to be a dick and go through lanes in stores that are designated with clearly visible signs as to their intent in terms of the amount of items that you’re supposed (in your mind, a mere suggestion to be scoffed at) to have, but it still doesn’t change the fact that you’re being a dick when you do this, because most everyone else BUT YOU is complying with the “suggestion” in the name of a speedy checkout.
Guys like you are the reason for the OP in the first place. If you don’t care about how other people feel because you’re deliberately obtuse and inconsiderate, then fuck you. And you ARE being deliberately inconsiderate of your fellow human being when you violate the “suggestion” (as you put it, it must be because the employees of the store YOU shop at are trembling in fear at confronting your 2.5 inches of ignorance) of an item restriction for certain lanes.
If you have $300 worth of groceries, wait in the regular lines like everyone else does.
You’re not special, despite what Mama said.

I would agree that it is OK if I (and everyone else in the line) lets you cut in line or I agree to let you put your cart behind my car. Then all the parties to the transaction will have agreed―just like when the store and I agree to the transaction. But someone that joins the line later has no right to say I should not have let you cut.

You’re insane. If I was directly behind you in line, and you let someone without any age/handicap issues cut in front of me without explanation because you’re supposedly “holding the line”, you’re going to hear about it from me. Fuck laws, have you ever heard of etiquette, human decency, etc?
I would have some STRONG disagreements with you, if you get my drift. Partner.

Your agreement or lack thereof is not at issue. You do not own the line or the parking lot. If the store gives their tacit approval by continuing to accept my business, then any amount of inconvenience created for you is moot. Why should I suffer through long checkout lines or inconveniently placed cart corrals for the benefit of anyone else?*
I stated before that you are a sociopath. That was hyperbole. However, in this thread, you have expressed sociopathic tendencies. If you do this IRL, you had best rein that shit in before you meet a REAL sociopath who would follow you to your car and beat you to death because you went through the express lane in front of him with 40 items in your cart.**
*This is sarcasm.
**This is advice.

It does not mean that if you have 29 items it’s okay because they’re all boxes of Frosted Flakes; if they have to be inputted 29 times, it’s 29 fuckin’ items.
[/QUOTE]
Here, if you have 29 identical items, the cashier can input “29 @” and scan a single item once*. I’ve gone through the express line a few times with multiple amounts of the same thing. I’ve had the odd glare but when the glarer realises that I’m outta there quicker than them with their seven items, it all ends well.
[QUOTE=Two and a Half Inches of Fun]
I go into whatever line I want unless the store has enough lanes and has all of the lanes open. If the store is not going to have enough lanes open, I should not have to suffer. If I have 4o items and I want to go into the express lane that is between me and the store. I have never been told by a store employee to go to a different line. This completely different than the handicap parking situation. There is no express lane law. It is just a policy the store has and the store is free to disregard it which they always do. I think of it as more of a suggestion.

I’ll tell you this pal.
Try this in Merrie England and you’ll find out how it feels to have 40 items shoved up your arse complete with wrappers.
Just because you’ve not been told by a store employee to go to another line doesn’t make it right, it makes you to be a complete and utter twat.
While there may be no express lane law there is something in the civilized world known as courtesy, it’s in the dictionary between clown and cunt, look it up

About two years ago I saw a commercial for some credit card company, in which a shady-looking guy stuffed the pockets of his trenchcoat with stuff and then tried to walk out the door, and a cop stopped him to give him his receipt. Implying that in the brave new world of Tomorrowland, we’ll be able to walk out the door and automatically be debited, and never have to wait in Express Lanes or any other kind of goddamned line ever again.
So what the hell ever happened with that?

Most of the basis of it is dependent on tagging each individual product with an RFID tag. At this moment even Wal-Mart is having difficulty just tagging shipments for inventorying, let alone individual products. Last I heard no one was happy with the fail rate on the RFID tags which is abominable.
So it may happen some day but it’s going to be a few years.
