(not trying to pick on anyone) "I refuse to follow any rule that I don't understand."
That is BULLSHIT.
you have a six year old kid. you explain to them that they shouldn't let anyone 'touch them there' but you don't explain why. A six year old, not only has no need to know why they shouldn't let that happen, but would have no comprehension even if you tried to explain. yes, when you get older you're more able to understand and reason, but you don't always need to be spoon fed all the answers. Most of the time rules are there because they are things that have been shown to have a net positive effect. We should be able to follow simple rules without explaination.

addressing a different point, I personally think that any cashier in a express lane should be authorized to refuse service to someone over the limit, and explain to them that the store makes enough money that they really don't give a shit about one offended asshole.
