they used "covid" as an excuse. up here, every single grocery store seems to only have 1 or maybe 2 lanes open at any time. i went to a sobeys a few months ago and they had some faggot standing around the entrance to the self checkout area calling out to people passing by and telling them that there were open lanes in self checkout, as if everyone is obligated to use them. there was never this amount of pressure prior to "covid".
