Every time I've had to hire someone, it had to be done fast. But as I've discovered anyway, hiring can be very time-consuming, and even still there are no guarantees.

You know, as someone who enjoys grocery shopping, I noticed a long time ago, and I'm absolutely certain you've noticed this too, that no matter how hard you try, it seems like more often than not, you get in the checkout line that is slower than all the others.
Well, this phenomenon has actually been studied, and the reason why that happens, well, there's a couple of reasons, but one of the big reasons is that random interruptions, like a price check or a chatty customer, can really slow the line way down. And those interruptions can happen at any time and in any line. So if there are, for example, three checkout lines open, you have a two out of three chance of not being in the fastest line. The more open lines, the worse your chances. What's actually more interesting is really the whole system is flawed. If supermarkets did it the way banks and airports and hotels do it, you would actually get out of the store faster. And that is to have one line and have the person at the front of the line go to the next available checker. So why don't supermarkets do it that way? Well, room is a problem. There's really no place to put that line. But a bigger factor is customers don't like it. But here are a few suggestions. It's not just how long the line is.
If the cashier has someone bagging groceries for them, that line will move faster. Also, it's not just the number of people in line. People with a lot of items in their cart take a lot longer and slow the line way down. Another tip is, you know, just don't sweat it. Because it turns out there are probably plenty of times you probably were in the short line, you just tended not to notice.
