Letter writer doesn’t like when grocery store employees encourage the express lane but they have too many items.
I am a mom of four teenagers, so I’m at the grocery store quite frequently. The hard-working employees who try to balance the number of people in line often ask me to go to the express line even if I have a few too many items.
I have had to start telling them no, I will not, because so many people have been openly nasty to me about having too many items to qualify for the express line. It is even worse when people glare without saying anything. No one should assume the worst about their fellow shoppers.both understand, the employees’ intent is to speed shoppers on their way by increasing efficiency. They are likely to be following instructions.
