10 ways to speed up your trip through the supermaket checkout

Have you ever wondered how to speed up your trips through the supermarket checkouts? Simply follow the following rules:
1. Smile at the checkout assistant
2, Remember the checkout assistant is always right.
3. Don't rush her/him - they have plenty of time - let them process your order at their own speed.
4. If something is unknown, doesn't have a bar code, is or gets damaged don't lose your rag with them - just accept it and say "never mind, I'll leave it."
5. When you forget to hand over your coupons or vouchers, take them to the Customer Services Desk to refund your money. Don't argue!
6. Pack yourself - if help is offered ask the help to put your shopping from the trolley onto the belt - they can't get that wrong.
7. Don't distract the checkout operator they will probably have more important things to think about than processing your order.
8. Ask to see a manager and suggest they spend a week on the checkout.
9. Lose your temper with a manager - you will probably get a voucher!
10. Take an interest in the life of your checkout assistant - it will probably be the first time someone has.

Good shopping!
