@drewnogal saidMy local supermarket does that already. They're very good at keeping the line moving too.

@kewpie saidIt’s a great idea. Supermarkets can sadly be the only place that some people ever get to have a bit of a chat with someone so a slowish lane is great for them.

Another thing is that some checkouts, Aldi being one, push you into putting your shopping into your trolley at such a speed it can make you feel stressed.

@drewnogal saidAlthough a very shy introvert I do, on occasion, say hi to the person in front of me at a checkout. Oh hang on I mean I say, “come on, get a move on, unlike you I have things needing done”.😲

@great-big-stees saidI speak to people in the queue, both to the tram, bus or market, to make waiting easier. Sometimes they speak back, sometimes not.

@drewnogal saidWhatever happened to teenagers loading the bags for customers? It was a great part-time job for youths and so helpful, especially for elderly customers.

@drewnogal saidCute British idiom. In America one would have said "talk the ears off a wooden Indian", but I suppose that's politically incorrect nowadays.
