If you have 3 or 4 people waiting for help, unable to proceed, the attendant should help in the order they needed help. You shouldnt see new people suddenly being helped if you've been waiting.
In any case, this has been so infuriating sometimes that I literally just walked away. I left everything, including frozen goods right at the checkout counter. I didnt know what to do to be helped on a fair basis.
it's like the checkout attendants aren't even familiar with a standard first in first out queue
