Letter writer doesn’t like when grocery store employees encourage the express lane but they have too many items.

I have had to start telling them no, I will not, because so many people have been openly nasty to me about having too many items to qualify for the express line. It is even worse when people glare without saying anything. No one should assume the worst about their fellow shoppers.both understand, the employees’ intent is to speed shoppers on their way by increasing efficiency. They are likely to be following instructions.
