While I generally reserve enough time for shopping groceries so that I never need to hurry, I do exercise some preference between cashiers. It, however, isn't necessarily for the fastest route but the most pleasurable route.
My highly scientific method (=i.e. where chemistry kicks in) to ensure this goes like this:
- Prefer younger cashiers to older cashiers: I empirically know that middle-aged and older people can be unbearably slow. Note that I don't mind queueing as long as I see some progress: unbearably slow is slower than that.
- Prefer women to men: they're not necessarily faster but I find it more pleasurable to spend my time queueing while observing a female cashier.
- Prefer attractive women to others. They're not necessarily faster but I find it much more pleasurable to watch them while standing in the queue. Moreover, given the (speed-wise) age range from the first bullet, the woman's age doesn't really matter. General looks and vibes matter most. Breasts do play a part.
I disagree: give me a cashier in their forties or fifties anytime. They are work fast and are more experienced than a young temp or weekend worker.
For me the people who are waiting makes a big difference. Couples are good, because when one is paying the other will be handeling the groceries.

Yeah, I'm a man.
