I have found large variance on checkout processes between (European) countries. Take supermarkets. I lived in the NL, where scan, bag & pay takes 30 seconds to a minute, with a cart full maybe 1:30. The I moved to France where old people might take that long just to reach out and sign their checks. Once I saw a sign at the Auchan boasting that the handle customers on average in under 4 minutes now. I sometimes would wait 30mins in line. In the NL, I would never (have to) put up with that.

Its weird they wouldn't drive 150km to learn how to save sooo much time, not just the customer but also their own labour costs.
