Somehow Costco has managed this well (as has Sam’s Club).

Costco always has sufficient ID checkers in the self-checkout, and Sam’s checks your ID as you leave the store if you do the Scan-as-You-Go feature.

Quick and easy for both.

They really need to just pay for extra cashiers. And* can’t they also have “express lanes?”

Exactly. Seems Costco and Sam’s do just that.
