The conveyor belt runs through each aisle, and you type what you want intoa computer and it brings to you.

I feel like if I pick the wrong person they will feel like I'm stalking them so sometimes I leave that line and go to another line and try to act inconspicuous.

Julio, it's okay. It's just a simple photoelectric sensor near the end of the conveyor. When it senses the light from the other side is obstructed, it stops the belt. This is useful, it keeps the belt off whenever anything is within reach of the cashier. These are very cheap electronics; it's basically a little diode that generates a signal when light shines on it, and a light source on the other side.

actually that is the coverup story. conveyer belt ladies are magic, they are conveyer belt whisperers and they say "conveyer belt, stop" with their minds. they can do this while they do other things like ring up your total and tell you your savings.

grocery store lines are hard in my town, because the bathrooms don't have anything to cut out a line on inside of the stalls. do not reccomend.

for a long time, queue management in in lines has been many different registers, then a line for each one. most grocery stores operate like this.
several stores are trying to change that. it's been known for a long time that in queue management, it's easier to have a single line, which then is dished out to multiple employees one at a time. This eliminates any wasted time where people are switching positions or where a cashier runs out of people to scan though some still exist in other queues.
it's proven it takes less time, shaving off minutes from your average grocery store trip. banks use this strategy, as does your typical phone system queue.
what's odd though, is that even though it takes less time, customers seem to hate it. it may just be resistance to change. one typical complaint was that the person felt like they did a better job sniping a good position in line when they were seperate queues. that might be true, but why should they build the grocery store around your desire to get an unfair slice of the queuing pie? both waiting for the right opportunity and the system overhead are unacceptable in my opinion.
anyway, ask your grocery store to go to a single queue, so everybody isn't wasting their lives in grocery store lines any more than is needed.

this is what they do at Michaels when I'm buying art supplies and it makes me nervous because it's like cattle being herded together and I'm never sure if I could have gotten to a cashier faster if there were little separate lines

also with only one big line you have to cross this wide open chasm of floor space to get to the cashier when they call you and I'm always nervous people are watching me and I might go too fast or too slow or trip. It feels like I'm Liam neesons daughter in taken and I'm being paraded out as a sex slave in front of leering Arab men.

grocery stores are intentionally designed to be confusing in the item arrangement so that you spend more time looking at things you had no intention of seeing. self checkout machines save grocery stores many employees salaries at the guise of convenience to the customer, yet you are now doing work that was previously paid for, for nothing. because a lot of food has "best by" dates rather than expiration dates many grocery stores simply throw away perfectly edible food, and it is illegal to take this food and donate it. membership cards exist to track your spending habits and better serve you coupons which make you spend money you might have otherwise not.
