Place dividers lengthwise on the conveyor belt to prevent it from moving and to create space between your groceries and the next customer’s items.
Avoid counting out loose change individually; hand over what you can and let the cashier count it to speed up the checkout process.
Allow store employees to bag your groceries efficiently rather than packing them yourself, which can slow down the checkout line.
Ask department staff about seasonal produce or specific items instead of expecting cashiers to have detailed product knowledge.
Keep friendly conversation brief during checkout to maintain efficiency, respecting the cashier’s need to scan items quickly.
Avoid filling out checks completely at the register; most machines can process blank checks efficiently.
Keep different types of fruits and vegetables separate on the conveyor belt to ensure accurate scanning and inventory tracking.
Place heavy or multiple items like cases of beverages on the belt for scanning, minimizing unnecessary handling for both you and the cashier.
