Yard, 2009
This aisle is 5 items or less*, please.
* Why is it "less" and not "fewer?" 5 or fewer items. We typically quantify count nouns with "fewer," while mass nouns with "less," e.g., "I would like less sugar than what you put in John's coffee," as opposed to, "I have fewer cameras than Bill." We can clearly see that if one has to specify the number of items, in this case 5, then we should be using the adjective "fewer." What's the story here? Where did we go wrong? Anyway, it's just a thought I've had for a while, and when the title just came to me, it sparked the thought again.
I'm sure many of you can come up with many other anomalies in the English language. Please share if you got 'em. Language is one thing that I am happy to talk about with anyone (for those that don't know, I'm working on my PhD in linguistics, so topics in any language-related matters are welcomed).
I am pretty sure the 'gentleman' in front of me has more than twenty items in his cart. After taking the time to consider this, I noticed that I, too, had more than twenty items and swiftly moved to a different express checkout.

For years, I wondered why self-checkouts weren't a thing at Costco Wholesale because of the long line-ups. Also, there's an article on the Internet I read years ago that stated the company believed cashiers did a better job than customers. As a result, I was surprised to see them at this warehouse located at 115 Marquis Drive recently.

There are self-checkouts and cashiers, and you bag your own groceries. On weekends, people from charitable organisations bag for you, with a small recommended donation. The building is a kind of small mall, so the checkout opens into a hall with other shops.
These are becoming more and more popular, at least among stores. As a consumer, I am not convinced. Scanning and checking your own stuff would be alright, if it weren't for all the items that still require attendant assistance.
