Oh man this is one of my pet peeves. You’re standing in line, then in front of the cashier. All to pay for your stuff. Then it’s this whole production werin a look of surprise that, yes you do actually have to pay, followed by 5 minutes of digging through the bag for your card.
Most people pay with a card. You can usually tap your card as soon as the cashier scans something.
The next person in line communicates their annoyance through a series of sounds and interpretive dance. Complains to the cashier when it’s their turn before performing their own 5 minute production. And they forgot they had reusable bags.
Also 3 people with small orders will normally take longer than 1 person with a big order. One of the biggest time sinks is people paying.
Minor correction, please take it in the kindly manner it is offered:
Time sink indicates something that takes time. Time is sunk in a time sink.
Time sync would indicate a synchronizing of time.
Your meaning is very clear from context though, so no worries. 🙂
Yeah, I know. Just made a mistake. Thank you for the correction. I fixed it.
