Quite often people do & I will myself, especially if I’ve got a big trolleyful, and I find it annoying if people don’t. A woman in Aldi this morning saw that I only had some microwave steam bags but never budged!

It’s nice when it happens but not expected.
Slightly different but similarly annoying, I got to a queue with a lady in front that was doing masses of shopping. I had the three kids, two of whom are screaming toddlers and I only had maybe 2 items. I didn’t expect to go in front, she was already being served. There was a shop worker directing people to the tills so she fully saw my situation. Just looked at me sympathetically.
Another lady turned up, and the same worker said to her “let’s open another till for you” and promptly opened the till next to the one I was in and served the other lady who had come up behind me. While I’m stood there with screaming children dripping off me and only two items and I got there before the lady who had a whole new till opened for her. I cried. Said to the worker I really wish you’d said that to me when you saw me waiting here

It might be because of the number of people queuing eg when there is a third person they open a new checkout.
