I slow down to allow traffic in from on-ramps and other lanes ___ ___ 3. I place my shopping cart to the side of the aisle so others can pass ___ ___ 4. I look behind me at the check-out lane to allow the person with very few items to go ahead of me ___ ___ 5. I return the shopping cart to the return area ___ ___ 6.
