So true ! xD
What I’d like is not another express line at the supermarket, but a line for men only. There can be several lines for women only if they want it.
I’ve found that a line with 3 men is usually faster than a line with just 1 women – even if the men have more items than the 1 women (tho most of the time men have fewer items). Men have their cards/cash (no coins) ready while women usually wait until everything’s been rung up before opening their bags to start looking for their checkbooks/exact change. Men sometimes place their goods with the barcodes alreay positioned to be quickly scanned.
Women get kudos tho for more often letting people with fewer items go ahead of them.
This is what’s great about being a grad student – I can usually get my grocery shopping done during the weekday.

Most major supermarkets have a union contract that pays time-and-a-half for Sundays, so they schedule a skeleton crew. Better to shop on Saturdays or late at night.
Wednesday mid-mornings are argueably worse. It’s the time slot for the senior center minivan shopping hour.
Weekdays after 10pm. You usually have the store to yourself.
Here in Utah, its a ghost town on Sundays. Its kinda creepy sometimes…
Clearly somebody has been to a Safeway in a trendy new apartment building, the sort of place where you can no longer shop on Sundays or at 6pm as half the aisle is devoted to LINE.
Or you live in Quebec, where there’s a legal maximum number of employees (like three or four) that supermarkets can have in on Sundays
