Many older stores were designed when checkout required slower manual keying of the prices, people writing checks and paying in cash, and therefore more clerks. Even when scanning was introduced they needed spares for inoperative scanners and weekend or holiday rushes. Many of the extra lanes disappeared as ADA measures were/are introduced.

Because everybody else likes that gum too, and that’s the register that’s never open.
Thus it’s the only one that ever has any of that gum.
And yes. Break time when … certain… customers show up.

“I have a question. Why did you ask, ‘Why is there’ instead of ‘Why are there’? There’s a pack of gum riding on your answer.”
