   The markets have reduced the number of manned lanes and have done away   
   with the 'express' lanes. I'm not keen on standing in line behind someone   
   who was shopping for a family of nine to get my six items rung up. Even   
   worse is discovering you're behind someone with a EBT card that finds   
   their credit card declined for the stuff the EBT didn't cover.
