Usually, if I notice them. They usually have express lanes for ppl with just a couple of items too.

If I see a friend behind the person, I will let them skip me so I can talk to the friend, but otherwise, no

Depends on the situation. I let a few people go ahead of me who were obviously on their lunch break instead of making them wait behind nearly 100 indecisive teenagers.

Yes, when they have many fewer items and I'm in no hurry.

Yes if all they have is one or two items... And I have regretted it on some occasion when none of their 20 or so credit cards worked!

Yes if I have a lot of shopping and they only have one or two items. I think it would be mean of me not to let them go first.

If I have a whole cart and they only have a couple of items, I offer to let them go ahead of me. I am not in a hurry.

Many times for different reasons, such as a mom with a crying baby, an elderly woman seeming to be less than steady on her feet, when someone is in a hurry and i'm not.... etc...

Like, if I'm deciding what to eat and I don't know yet and they're ready to go.

Some times. If I don't know what I want to get or if they only have a few items.

..sure...at the market, when I have 20 items and they have 3, it just seems like the right thing to do..

If they aren't using a cart and I have a full one, always.
It's the considerate thing to do, IMHO.

yes.
the guy who is holding 1 item can alway go ahead of me when my cart is full.
the lady w/ 3 children grabbing a quick few items can always go ahead of me... i know what a few moments in the store w/ many little ones can mean.

i try to treat people the way i want to be treated... what comes around goes around... and most of the time it's been returned to me.
living an impatient life used to make me nuts and when i sought to learn patience my happiness increased.

It's polite if I'm doing the shopping for a whole week & they are getting a loaf of bread.

Yes! For several reasons. If somebody behind me is talking to their friend in front of my, I would let them go ahead of me. If they ask politely, yes. If they have an armful of items for checkout, and I only have one or two things, I let that person go ahead of me. Nice question, and I am happy to answer, even if I get called a wimp for my answer!
