I think the sense of injustice may sometimes be to blame. Let me elaborate.
There have been times at Whole Foods when item after item isnt scanned, now you have to wait for an attendant. Usually they have 1 attendant for 10 machines, so now you've queued up to be helped.
Except there are times where attendants just go randomly help people, or help people who are loud or pull them in. 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

Imagine being as fragile as the OP and then further humiliate yourself by stomping out without groceries you just shopped for. All because of a mundane and trivial annoyance lmao.

I would leave them all at the scanner and go shop for another set of the same groceries, so I can entertain myself while they unfrick the checkout lines.
