I tried it at the Borg the first and last time. Two items, one wouldn't scan. I asked the clerk overseeing the four scanners for help. Another guy was having trouble too and she was assisting(?) him. She said, "I'll be right there."
Five minutes later, I took my stuff to another register and was out of there while the other guy was still in the "express" line.
Not to say you can't get held up in a regular line. They should have a policy: if they can't get a response for a SKU request in two minutes, the item is free.
