@bradthornborrow yeah, I generally do
At the hardware store it was the only place I could find a part I needed, I left some items out that weren't time critical to reduce checkout annoyance
Late one night at a grocery store they were shutting down cashiers as I was in line, I was told the cashiers close down 15 minutes early
They kept the cashier in place for those already in line at 15 to closing, I told her I would've walked out on the very full cart elsewise
