A friend lives near the No Frills at Oakwood, and he's done that very thing: standing in a long line with only two cashiers open, and one *closes her till*. He put his basket down, and walked out of the store.
Now, he's not a very confrontational sort, so he would not have made the direct appeal to the manager (I'd have done what you did) but hopefully, the abandoned basket gets the message across.
And I don't really fault the cashier for closing when her time comes- sometimes she's in overtime and not being paid, sometimes a girl's really gotta go to the can. But I DO fault the management for not providing enough cashiers. I have a few problems with my local ValuMart, but lack of cashiers is fortunately not one of them.
