Add in the time at coffee shops when people are deciding what they want to order, even though they order the same thing every day, that could take up almost 20 seconds of your day.
You forgot 2 other paying with cash delays:

- Cashier thinks you gave her a $10 when you gave her a $20. Then tells you if she is over at the end of the day, they will call you.
- You pay with a $20 and the cashier accidentally enters $200 in the till. You wait a couple of minutes for them to figure out that won't make them "short" at the end of the day, then a couple more as they scramble to find a calculator; as nobody knows how to calculate change in their head anymore.
