    so the cashier knows where your items end and can start the payment portion of checking out, getting you out the door more quickly

    I don’t put the divider up for the benefit of the person behind. I put it up for me. well, and also to be nice. but it benefits me

        see, a reasonable person just leaves a gap. but some people think that if they cram the belt full, the cashier will somehow process everything more quickly.

        same people who glare at you when you don’t start loading items when the instant free space appears on the belt. like mf I got a cart full of stuff, and I know how to unpack onto the belt so they get packed back into the cart neatly, I need two feet to start laying out the big things. mfs want you to start the belt out with bananas and shit
