How is a single line feeding all registers not better? It's so frustrating being a busy store, getting in the best-looking checkout line, then finding out the person in front of you has decided they need to a price check/manager intervention/whatever at the register while all the people around you are passing you.
I wish more places would have just a single line (although using self-checkout, if available often solves this problem as well).
- PaulHoule 4y agoSingle lines are fine. It is superficial aspects of the design of that "cattle chute" at the Union Square Whole Foods that make it feel dehumanizing. People think Amazon is a particularly advanced retailer and that every other retailer is "legacy" like Sears and Roebucks and that is just not true. Go to a Wal-Mart Supercenter in a flyover state and you will find a large investment in an advanced self-check system that has single lines and many other features that make for a competitive checkout experience.
