Plastic cards are worse than checks... I always seem to get behind
those with a wad of overdrawn cards and they can't remember all their
PINs. I've seen people get on line with two full overflowing carts
and then everyone needs to wait while they choose which half of the
items to remove.

And then there are those with 2-3 separate orders... they need to take
each order back to the rear of the line.

And don't even get me started on the food stamp scams... why do they
have lots of cash for beer, cigs, and scratch cards, because they sell
them back for 75 cents on the dollar. They need to abolish all those
govt free food programs... anyone truly poor and hungry can go to a
food bank/soup kitchen.

There needs to be a line for CASH ONLY.
