And now, the best idea we have ever had...

UberRed and I (UberBrian) were at Wal-Mart the other day and came to the following conclusion.
All stores should have a "One Guy Lane". It's like the express lane, but is actually worth getting into. I mean honestly, how good is an express lane that is 20 items or less? How many times do you go to Wal-Mart and get more than 20 items. Anyway, there are some rules to our lane. You have to be ONE GUY.

One man can go through a checkout line 10 times faster than a woman. Let's break it down.
1. Guys empy their cart (if they even have one) like it is a race. We don't even look at the belt, we just grab and toss and don't look up until the cart is empty.

2. Guys have the method of payment ready as soon as they unload their cart. Most guys develop a small case of ADD as they watch the cashier ring them up. They have a hand of cash extended before a total is even given. The debit card is poised in the swiper thing with the other hand ready to push buttons.

3. While waiting for change, the guy grabs all of the bags with one hand, no matter how many there are, and pushes the cart away with the other hand.

BOOM transaction complete. total time? about 1 minute.

NOW, lets go through a womans line.

1. Stand in line and look at tabloids.
2. Slowly and carefully, place all items in cart one at a time.
3. Carefully watch all the prices ring up to make sure they don't get overcharged.
4. Uh-oh, this item was on sale, but rang up full price. Better call someone to get the correct price.
5. Now, she has a coupon that will save her 30 cents on a jar of tomato sauce, but since it was clipped from the paper, the UPC code is messed up.
6. Price total is given. Instead of having payment method ready, they have to dig through their purse to find the checkbook. (only women use checkbooks)
7. Write the check
8. Cashier asks for drivers license (like they do everytime), woman has to go back into the purse to find it.
9. Now, they have to load all of their bags back into their cart.
10. Finally, they are done. total time: about 7 minutes.

Clearly, this is best idea in the world.
Next, I will explain why they should have sections in restaurants called "No Babies" to go along with "No Smoking".

Right on,
UberBrian

Comments:
Women also try to organize products on the belt on whether they belong in the freezer, refigerator, or neither. Which in our defense, comes in very handy when you are unpacking stuff.
 
Definitely no offense taken. Maybe "defense" was the wrong word. Maybe justification would have been better.
