why isn't there a checkout for locals only at the Co-op?

One thing aboutSt Ives, right, is that it isn't exactly poorly off for Co-ops. You go into one street in town and just about every other shop's a Co-op. You have to get in their early, otherwise the emmets have bought everything, and worse you end up in a massive queue that stretches all the way from the till back to the chiller cabinets.

Anyway I went in this morning and because it was sunny FOR A CHANGE there was a massive queue of emmets in there, all buying stuff to take on the beach, and little kids on holiday buying sweets that they could have got from the paper shop (McColls) across the road BUT INSTEAD they were holding up the queue digging in their pockets for two pees to pay for chews and stuff. And the queue trailed all the way past the booze aisle and nearly down to the frozen food. It took me about half an hour to buy a BLOODY CARTON OF MILK.

Why can't they have special checkouts for LOCALS ONLY? Then people who are on their way to work at 8 in the morning wouldn't get held up behind a massive line of emmets. What's the point in the Co-op giving out loyalty cards? What they really need is a card that says I'M A LOCAL, SERVE ME NOW!

Then when I got home mum asked me really sarcastically if I'd eaten the bread on the way home. I didn't say I'd forgot it. I said the emmets had had it all and there was none left for LOCALS.
