next time I go to Tesco...
"10 items or less" is going to be changed to "10 items or fewer" even if I have to scream and shout and stamp my feet and be sicks and cry.

a bag of peas is a unit
however 10 bags of peas is 10 units, but still only 1 item

Hmm... that sounds wrong to me.
I am outpedanted -- clearly by a master.
In the spirit of fraternal peace and brotherhood, could we agree on, "No more than 10 items"?
(P.s. glad ewe lik da pic.)

What if I have a bag with 10 potatoes in it
And also a six-pack of cider? Is that 2 items or 16?

How about
People who don't realise that it takes longer to process the 8 people in front of you because of 8 distinct transactions that have to take place than it will to process the woman in the next checkout who only has half a trolley's worth.

I'm in favour of allowing the staff more power
And make it "Don't take the piss, this lane is for people with not much shopping so they can go through quickly."
Then just let the till boy/girl tell people to piss off if they have too much shopping.
And have a button that sweeps their load of shopping out the way and into a nearby trolley to minimise incorrect-shopping-quantity-unloading lag.
perhaps.

Yes!
I'm gonna get bitch-slapped one of these days as I've taken to counting the number of items in other people's baskets
and if there's 11 I tutt or clear my throat and I live in Hackney.

Perhaps you could
have different aisles for different trolley volumes. A high energy laser, or a sharp axe, could trim any overstuffing and/or children remaining in the child seat by the time one gets to the till.
It's what a German would do, if they hadn't gone all namby-pamby and "Oh, Klaus! Look at my extensive body hair!"
Need tea.

that's odd
I used the exact sentence "Oh, Klaus! Look at my extensive body hair!" just yesterday.
I thought I'd made it up.
Coincidence or suppressed meme?
