As a fella with a serious aversion to slow people (physically slow, not mentally) I almost tinkled myself when my checkout guy at Trader Joe’s (far end of this pic) performed the coolest time-killer ever.He took my 12 quarts of milk and two boxes of mixed berry granola cereal from my basket and put them directly into bags. No scanning and placing; scanning and directly into bags.
In all the years I’ve bought groceries, I’d never seen this done – a simple move that cut my time checkout in half.
Nominate this cat for the Nobel Prize prontissimo. And alert all your cashier friends on Facebook, Plaxo, LinkedIn, etc. to follow his lead. We’re gonna make 2009 the most glorious time to be alive.
Happy weekend.
