A cashier at a particular grocery store I go to is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He is an "older" gentleman - always so chipper and polite 
.
His line is often the shortest . . . it's NOT because he's fast. Anyone who has ever been in his line before probably knows they will get stuck there. He will ring up items so S-L-O-W-L-Y . . . then there will be pauses in his work flow as he chit chats.
It seems people avoid his line 
.
That being said, he is still always chipper and polite 
. I will go to his line (if I have the time) because he remembers me and I am always greeted with a smile. I might be late for my next stop, but I will leave happy appreciating his pleasant (though slow) customer service 
.
Do you intentionally go in lines where your favorite cashiers are? Or do you aim for the shortest, quickest line so you can get out of there?

Yes, I identify completely. An elderly gentleman at Walmart who I suspect works to avoid thinking about his pain (as well as to help make ends meet), is the checkout lane I look for every time I go there. He walks hunched over, and with a cane, but he always has a smile. It’s such a joy to talk to him.

I haven't known a cashier in decades but I remember when I used to shop at Albertsons on my way to work and would always look for one of 3 cashiers, they were the nicest people. I miss those days ..... well, not the going to work part but knowing those people. 2 of them have moved to another part of the country and the 3rd one passed away

I am not familiar with the cashiers at my local grocery store, so I do not have a favorite. Some of them seem cranky or not in the mood most of the time. Hehe
