Once in the supermarket and with sugar treats in hand, they went to the checkouts where they saw two lines very similar to your image. So, in a pleasing twist that showed that this exercise got them thinking, they took a lane each to see who would get through first, testing their own hypothesis at the same time. They both even stopped to ask the cashiers how long they had been working there to establish any difference in checkout lane experience. They were pretty pleased with themselves, I can tell you.
