Complaint about checkouts
I don't know if it is this way in your area but when we go get groceries, the plastic separating things that you put in between orders are scarce. There is maybe one if you are lucky. The cashier seems to like to hog them all to herself. One time it was next to her register where nobody could get to it, but I managed to grab it anyway. Then when we went to move it when starting our order, she put it on the other side of the register so nobody could use it. What is the point to having these things if they are either scarce or the cashier doesn't like you using them.

I hear ya rangerrules. It seems in the past year or so that they have gone missing. They are still there but when there used to be three there is only one now.
Maybe someone is building a house with them. Or possibly a Giant thinks they are Lego's.

What's the big deal with those dividers? I've had people ****** one and place it between their groceries and my gallon of milk as if there might be some cross-contamination that may ocurr.
a reasonable space is all that is needed, the divider often emotes a lack of trust and friendship, if you are in such a hurry to unload that cart and use up every inch of space, slow down, the check-out is not going to go any faster.
and, trust me, I'm not going to steal your groceries.

The thing about cramming everything on that belt is sometimes stuff falls over. We ended up with some kind of breakfast cereal that was high in sugar, high in food colouring, didn't taste very good, and just wasn't that good for you. When we got home, we were both like "Did YOU buy this? Did they CHARGE us for it?" If there was a gap instead of the divider, the "bad" cereal would have been noticed before it got rung through.
I feel bad for the lady in front of us though. Her kid was probably looking forward to having that cereal for breakfast.

12 items or less
one or two over maybe but when they have 20-25 items.

I've had the cashiers in the short lines tell me to go ahead and use them even though I had about 25 items at the time. I think our Walmart short lines actually say 20 items or less. It's only when there's no traffic, usually late at night, but I always get somebody behind me as soon as I put my stuff down. I like to watch them count my items. Then they look at me like they want to fight.

We do that so we can get up to the register in order to make sure they are ringing up the right prices and or not charging us twice for the same item. (That has happened WAY too often.)

I have too, I think she was just bored it being a Saturday afternoon and nobody else with small orders were coming though.

The real reason they are stealing the dividers:
Up here in Canada(sounds like the start to a JimCarrey stand-up monologue) we used to have those long square blank white dividers. I want to strangle the person who invented their replacements - a clear plastic long triangle shape that the store can put advertisements in(about 2 inches tall). You HAVE to look at it when you grab it, so granted the inventor is genius for thinking of that, but now we are all a captive audience for ads in the grocery store TOO! aarrgghh!!!!
