Hints:
        "Aisle 1, Aisle 2"

        作为题目的 Checkstands大写
Big numbers are above the rows of shelves to help guide the customer. Interestingly, we say "Aisle 1, Aisle 2" instead of "Row 1, Row 2". Food items that do not spoil, anything in a sealed container, and all nonfood products are located here.
Certain items are generally found together in the central aisle section of a supermarket. For example, all of the bread and pastry is together in one section. All of the canned fruit is together, and so are all of the canned vegetables and canned soups. In another aisle, you can find dried food products in bags and boxes - beans, rice and pasta, for example.
Checkstands
Now that we have looked at most of the supermarket, let us return to the checkstands, which are always located in the front of the store near the entrance-exit area. A large supermarket has perhaps eight or ten regular checkstands. Often there is also one "express line", which is for people who have just a few items, and who pay with cash, not by check. This line is generally faster than the other lines.
