Express Queues?

Something I’ve been seeing at the Isetan supermarket every Wednesday when I go for my regular Japanese class: whenever customers with 1-2 items make their way to the payment counters, they seem to immediately head towards the only express counter in the supermart, despite the obviously long queue, even though the regular payment counters are free. This is a society where we’re so anal about ‘obeying’ signs that we don’t seem to use our eyes and heads to judge anymore.
