Not gonna lie, this is totally based on stereotype, but if I have a decent variety of veggies (which often don't have a label, let alone one that's scannable), the presence of an adult Asian female cashier will heavily weight my lane decision. Having been raised by an Asian woman, they know their veggies way, way better than any other cashiers that I'm likely to come across in the Upper Midwest.
