pila sa cashier

[Mguy]

Kaya mayroong basket lane/10 items or under cashiers, para ito sa mga taong konti ang dala.

Kaya mayroong cart lanes, para ito sa mga taong maraming kinuhang items gamit ang mga gorcery carts.

Ang lanes na ito ay para lamang sa mga taong may kinuhang items. No ifs or buts, kung wala kang dala, you have no business whatsoever being in either of those lanes. Pumila lamang kapag meron ka nang kinuha.

May kinuha o may kinukuha, pareho lang yun. Basta't dating sa dulo, may binabayaran. Kung wala, eh di talaga he has no business being there at tumabi na sya.

IMO, it's very unfair, for me personally it's not diskarte rather it's nanglalaman, anong bang mahirap kung pumila na lang kung dala na yun cart or yun mga pinamili..walang pinagkaiba yun sa nag rereserve sa parking habang wala pa yun kotse...lahat naman kayo pare-parehong nagmamadali..if everybody will do that "diskarte" then lahat ng nakapila sa cashier eh wlang mga dalang pinamili....I just don't know why we filipinos have a penchant of making lamang to others.. parang feeling na magaling pag nakakalaman and this is a good example of the filipino habit...

ok lng ckin yan basta hindi sumingit at basta pagdating sa cashier at wala pa items eh paunahin ung iba

ibang usapan nman pag ang pila eh pang isang basket or 12pcs lang tapos dala nya eh cart with more than 12pcs na items.

at para sa akin, magkaibang case ito at ung reserve sa parking.

i agree with shadow ... ugaling pinoy ito ... panlamang sa kapwa

the country would be a better place if we stop this habit ... pumila lamang po tayo sa tamang paraan kahit saan, sa grocery, sa banko, sa parking, sa airport ... kahit saan

I don't have any problem with that as long as he doesn't become an impediment to me.

like what others said, I'll ask him kung wala pa yung groceries, then I'll go ahead of him. otherwise, he doesn't have any business standing in front of the cashier.

..nakakatuwa tong topic na to. para sa akin ok lang yung may nakapilang representative, basta hwag makaabala sa susunod sa kanya kung wala pa nga yung items nya tsupi muna sya. pero unfair naman yata kung pagdating ng cart nya eh napakarami ng items pala, tapos yung kasunod eh ang dala 1 or 2 items lang. kaya siguro mas maganda gawing policy yung ok lang may pumilang iba para sa yo, pero pag inabot na ng turn mo at wala pa yung items mo, balik ka uli sa pila sa dulo. fair lang siguro yun para sa lahat. just like the other guy said, parang round robin.

[shadow]

kasi naman ang pagpili sa counter dapat ikaw mismo and dala mo na yun babayaran mo, dito lang naman ganyan na representative nauuna kahit wla pa yun meron binili, ano yan PTA meeting at kailan ng representative?

yun mga ganyan tao eh mga feeling all migthy na parang sila lang ang meron karapatan magmadali....

again walang mahirap sa intayin na lang yun pinamili saka pumila...

pero unfair naman yata kung pagdating ng cart nya eh napakarami ng items pala, tapos yung kasunod eh ang dala 1 or 2 items lang.

Yeah, I agree.
Also, diba if you're done with your groceries and are ready to check out, you'd look for the shortest OR fastest queue. Pag may proxy yung pila, you'll never know if you get a fast or a slow queue hangga't hindi pa dumadating yung cart nung proxy.
It would indeed be very unfair to you if you chose what you thought was a fast queue tapos parang Motorcade/Caravan of grocery carts pala yung inaabangan nung proxy sa harap mo.

falling in line at kfc is different from this situation because you're not bringing anything with you, you're simply there to place an order and pay. now what would be somewhat similar is if 1 person falls in line then when she;s at the end of the line she calls her ten friends who join the queue to place their individual orders. now that's bad! if two of you fall in line at the same time using different queues, no problem with that, that's your right, you can fall in line. But if you fall in line without any groceries, then i guess something's wrong with that. i like what torque said earlier and i believe that it all boils down to values and ethics. well, this is the philippines, i guess things will always be this way.

Finally, something I can agree with. Feel kasi ng marami sa Pinoy, ay mauunahan siya't malalamangan. Kaya uunahann niya yon para di siya "matalo". It's all about crab mentality, all over again.

Those who think it's OK, I understand your side. But the principle is just downright selfish. Fall in line only when you're ready. That's so easy to follow. Maintain one's principles, and you'll maintain your calm.
