I love all the ritualized behaviour, secret meanings and unexpected taboos - standing up when someone of higher status stands, elaborate rules for serving and eating, tapping the table to thank the server, never refuse a toast from a superior, stuff like that.

Whether it’s about meals or anything else, I’d love to hear about any uncommon politeness standard or similar social behaviour that goes on in your location, culture or restaurant!

    also leave the 1/3rd of the conveyor closest to you empty and the cashier won’t have to lean and reach and can whip em even faster.

    put loose stuff that needs to be weighed at the end, gives you a chance to catch up on bagging (cuz they will be going fast) and start paying. If you want to beat the checker it helps to have your club card physically so you can just scan it and not have to type your phone # in and tap to pay.

    At higher levels of this game you can interleave the packages such that each bag gets a few big flat heavy things in the bottom and then fills in with lighter items.

    I have never beaten the checker once it’s passed about half a cart but it’s fun to try!
