The only times when I’ve seen anyone complain about the length of lines were times when it was clear staffing was very much insufficient. Line all the way to the back of the supermarket and literally 2 cashiers total.
Unfortunately, no one you will ever be able to talk to has any tangible control over staffing. It’s an hours allotment determined by an equation and any deviation from it is met with more hours being cut and people being yelled at by someone who’s never actually worked in a store
I’m very willing to abandon a shopping cart full of food. This was a thing at the one store I would go to. They opened 1 register and the line was wrapped around the store.
Please. By all means, go and try to complain to someone who has the ability to enact change. You will not be able to. Most staffing is done by an equation that penalizes any deviation from it. And the people who put it in place also put several layers of obfuscation so that you can’t reach them.

I hope you didn’t have anything cold in that cart because doing what you did would directly contribute to the staffing issue.
Yes, it’s the consumer’s fault, not the giant corporation under-staffing their stores so they can hit another record profit quarter
