heh- I work in a grocery store, but I’ve never seen this one- just people losing their minds when some dope wanders to the express lane with enough food to feed a football team.
But yes, the “big tills” are often faster than “Express”. Remember that the most time-consuming part of an order is generally the part where they pay, because SURPRISE SURPRISE, the lady who waited for ten minutes has ONLY NOW decided to crack open her purse and locate her wallet, then find the card she wants to use. And Express Lanes, of course, tend to have multiple purchases ahead of you- a good cashier can wipe out a $300 order much more quickly than her counterpart who has to ring through four $30 orders.
