Problem: Article: For convenience, checkout counters are usually located in between entrances or near exits. Each checkout counter will likely have a number above it, and if the number is lit up, that means the lane is open to use. Most checkouts usually have express lanes that are reserved for customers who only have a few items. The express lanes will say how many items you can take through that lane. If you have more than the limit, use a regular checkout. If you're in a hurry and looking for the quickest line, look for the line with the fewest people, regardless of how many items each person has in their cart. Paying takes longer than ringing items through, so the more people have to pay, the longer checkout will take. Line up behind the last person in the checkout lane you've chosen, but make sure you don't crowd them with your cart or basket. Move toward the conveyor as the line shortens. When space frees up on the conveyor belt, grab a rubber divider from the side of the checkout and place it on the belt to divide your groceries from those of the person ahead of you. Start placing your items on the belt, but don't crowd your food so that things get squished, bruised, or dented. More room will become available to you as the cashier rings through items ahead of you. Place large items and boxes on the belt first, and leave delicate items and fresh produce until the end so that it doesn't get crushed. Usually, grocery store conveyor belts have an open section underneath at the end of the conveyor (farthest from the cashier) where you can leave your hand basket. Once you've emptied all your items, place the basket here. If there are others there already, stack yours inside. If you're using a cart, however, push it through the line with you as you go. If you brought your own bags, now's the time to use them! Some grocery stores require the customers to bag their own groceries, and in others the cashier will provide this service. . If the cashier is bagging the groceries, hand over your reusable bags. If you're bagging your own food, place larger items in the bottom and smaller and more delicate items on top. Separate raw meats from the rest of your food by putting them in their own dedicated bag. If you are buying eggs and loaves of bread, place the carton of eggs in the bottom of one of the bags and carefully place the bread on top. It's a good idea to put this bag in the "seat" of the cart so you know to place it in your car last in a safe place that won't have items placed or fallen on top of it. Make sure the cashier rings items through before you bag them. When the cashier has rung through your last item, hand over any points cards you have that apply to that grocery store. This could include loyalty cards for that grocery store or other points you collect. Tell the cashier how you intend to pay. This could include with cash, with a debit card, or with a credit card. Give the cashier enough to cover the bill if you're paying with cash, and don't forget your change. Otherwise, complete the transaction on the machine. If you're using a cart, you can place the full grocery bags back in the cart to get them to your vehicle. When you've paid, take your receipt and leave the store via the exit. Place your groceries into your car if you have one, or find an out-of-the-way spot where you can pull over and put your groceries into your wheeling cart or backpack. When you're done, return the cart to one of the outdoor cart corrals located in the parking lot.
Summary: Locate the checkout counter. Place your items on the belt. Leave hand baskets under the conveyor. Provide your reusable bags. Provide any points cards and pay. Place your bags in the cart.
