	1 as long as they're clearly marked "not for individual sale"

	1 as long as they still have the plastic 7-pack ring on them
	0 (0%)
	7 since you can't just scan Dopey 7 times instead of each of them separately; it screws up inventory
	1 (100%)
	6 because everyone forgets Sneezy

1. You can just let them walk through

If they aren't on the conveyor belt, they don't count at all.

2. It depends

do I have 4 other things or 3 other things? (assuming a 10 item express checkout lane)

3. I had to go with Other

and I admit I'm one of those at the 15-items-or-less line that will consider identical items to be counted as one since they scan through real fast as if they were one. So far no one has yelled at me.

Edit: meaning the dwarves would be one item, but they don't have to marked as not for individual sale.

4. The plural of Dwarf is Dwarves

so the plural of "arf" should be "arves"

The dogs met us with wagging tails and many arves.

7. Nice post, Gallagher.

8. Only in Middle-earth. In Safeway it's 'dwarfs.'

9. Incorrect. In Middle-earth it's Dwarrows

"Dwarves are a race in Middle-earth also called the Naugrim, Khazâd, and Gonnhirrim. The correct pluralization of Dwarf in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien is noted to be "Dwarrows" or sometimes even "Dwerrows"."

6. This is a Dopey poll

At least in part.

13. Well don't be

Bashful...

tell us what you really think!

10. When you buy a dozen eggs, do you count 12 items? No, it's (1) dozen.

you have (1) ... I don't know - what's the collective noun, clutch? ... of dwarfs

[blueamy66]

11. Okay, but all 12 eggs are in one container

You would have to find one container to enclose the dwarves in order to count them as one item.

14. If they're

tiny enough, they could all fit into one of those plastic produce bags

[blueamy66]

15. There ya go!

I wonder just how big they are!

[HappyMe]

12. They would count as 7.

Scan each one, or face the horrors of a messed up inventory.
