That seems like a polite thing to do, but I don't consider it an official rule of etiquette.

That and people behind me rarely put it down themselves which ends up causing confusion.Dave Pogorzalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326303697107442307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-17575920569799390052013-06-05T13:41:32.366-04:002013-06-05T13:41:32.366-04:00I set it out for the next person.

Some stores/some lanes seem not to have them any more, and that bothers me a bit, especially at busy times. fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-6078860377794029912013-06-05T09:37:05.107-04:002013-06-05T09:37:05.107-04:00Oh, so when you've deleting my messages, I sho...Oh, so when you've deleting my messages, I shouldn't take it personally?<br /><br />Anyway, if the person in front of me doesn't place the divider, I will. And if someone is behind me, I'll put that one out too. I like the order of it.

I don't know if I should get any good person points for that. I mainly do it because if I don't the person after me usually will NOT use the separator and just start putting their stuff on the belt six inches behind mine. I very rarely see anyone else putting the plastic separator in place after their last item. Lynnhttp://www.lynnspace.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
