I don’t put the divider up for the benefit of the person behind. I put it up for me. well, and also to be nice. but it benefits me

But there’s never really a need, or at least I’ve not seen a situation requiring it for years. You just leave a foot or so of space.

see, a reasonable person just leaves a gap. but some people think that if they cram the belt full, the cashier will somehow process everything more quickly.
same people who glare at you when you don’t start loading items when the instant free space appears on the belt. like mf I got a cart full of stuff, and I know how to unpack onto the belt so they get packed back into the cart neatly, I need two feet to start laying out the big things. mfs want you to start the belt out with bananas and shit

Oh I see. I go for the approach of just never ever acknowledging the existence of other people in the store so I don’t give a fuck about how they feel about my belt loading. Since 90% of people kinda suck it doesn’t bother me that much. At worst I’m pissing off maybe 5 non-shitty-humans per year.
