If two or more cashiers are available, one should be reserved for simple
transactions.  What annoys me is being stuck behind someone who brings
a shopping cart into the express line, runs back into the aisles for
things he or she forgot, nit-picks every item, and argues over change.
It's enough to make me return my bananas and jar of peanut butter to the
shelves and walk out.

Which reminds me of my second peeve: people who don't return items
to the shelves but drop them in random locations around the store.
Especially if it's the last unit of something I'm looking for.
