The EXpress Line?
Published Jan 01, 1900

I was at the store the other day when the manager nabbed a shoplifter in the act. He was escorting the suspect to the office when the shoplifter broke away and tried to run.
After a scuffle, the manager pinned the guy against the wall. He looked up to see a number of surprised customers staring at him.
"It's ok, folks, everything's fine," he reassured them. "This guy just tried going through the express line with more than nine items."
