That guy in the photo kind of scares me a little - I would have gotten in a line behind him with the quickness - he looks to have that hipster doofus vibe that screams Apple Pay. Wouldn't have pegged him for the change hoarder type.

Oh dang, wait, a minute. Makes perfect sense - those hipsters like to make old man things cool. Damn. They'll be holding up lines all over the place slinging their hoarded change. Just watch.

1a. People who look like they are on government assistance (this is not a race thing, especially where I live).
1b. Women with infants or young children.

It's amazing how difficult it is for some people to simply check out at a grocery store.

And yes, Amazon for everything that isn't groceries or gas.

ALWAYS getting stuck in the slowest fast lane grocery checkout line ... is a clear message from God. You're in for a hard, grim life.

God I want to party with her.

She gets nude when drunk.

Btw, check out lines are easy. Look for the young skinny black girl with straight hair who is smiling a genuine smile. She's the fastest.

Next, you want the line with the fewest people. Items don't matter up to a buggy full.

Lastly, you want no old women or foodstampers.

Pro-tip: talk to the customer in front of you, they are more likely to speed up because they won't want to inconvenience someone friendly.

I always seem to end up behind extreme couponers who get everything scanned and then whip out an envelope with like 60 coupons in it. Of course there is always an argument over 1 or 2 of the coupons as to whether or not theyre valid. This is never some old person either. It's usually a 20-something semi attractive girl. Everyone else in line starts sighing and mean mugging them, but it doesn't seem to bother them

I am cursed at this shite. I found an empty lane the other day. Lady says "brb gotta go get change" I'm like alright whatever. Bitch was gone like 5 minutes. Next lane over two people go through while I'm waiting.

checks are ok, but dammit, pull it out of your purse and fill it out while your stuff is being rung up. some people act like having to pay for stuff comes as a total surprise. have your card in your hand ready to pay.

My slow line avoidance's:

1. Get it off Amazon and don't even go to the store
2. Get the wife to go to the store
3. If 1 and 2 don't work, I look for the line that has the most miserable people. Chatty customers and cashiers slow the line as much as check writers and change payers. If everyone in line has that "FML" look, that's the fastest.
