Eric's comment raises a question I've always had about the express lane: what constitutes an item? Say I'm purchasing 12 cans of chili, is that considered one item or twelve? And does it matter if those cans are in a case or loose? I usually opt to take my groceries through another line in situations like this (I have a irrational fear of being chewed out for being a bad express lane shopper), but I'd really like to know.
When asking Santa for something, do you think the same three wish rule applies? Can you ask Santa for only one thing -unlimited presents- just like using one of your three wishes to wish for unlimited wishes? If so, Express Santa will do just fine.

My daughter would do just fine with the Express Santa as long as a "dozen puppies" counts as one item.

ReplyDeleteI believe that it is the number of beeps on the scanner. So if you buy a pack, one beep, one item.

ReplyDeleteThat's a dangerous hypothesis, Mindy. Let's keep that idea from our children, otherwise Christmas might get a lot more expensive.
