Nonononono!  Scooping is a waste of space.  Reach to the back of the shelf,
grab the rear box, put your other hand on the front one, squeeze them
together, then pull the whole rectangular stack over the cart, and set it
neatly into place.

I can guarantee you even though it takes more time, you will get more sets.

Oh, and DO use 2 carts, all you have to worry about is leaving a handhold
spot on the rear cart, and leaving enough time to get back with them.

Heck, with 5 minutes, I could fill 4 or 6 carts  ;-)  Especially with brand
new shoes with sticky soles for the corners ;-)

Go to the store ahead of time and practice.

Just check with security or store management first as you are practicing
with property that is not your own.

Good point.  I had been assuming mostly a (semi-)mad dash from the
counter to the LEGO aisle, pantomime filling the cart (decision: go
for speed-scooping, getting many copies of just a few sets, or take
the time to cruise the aisle, grabbing individual sets?), and then
dashing back to the front.  Wouldn't give you *as* much practice as
actually filling the cart(s), but would be better than arm-chair
quarterbacking.

If you DO decide to practice, please post when/where, as I want to
watch. :-)

Me too! :)
