Marking scheme posted!

Sample tests posted! (See the unit test file for details.)

Grocery stores often have a difficult task: they must determine how many employees to hire to staff checkout lines during varying levels of customers throughout the day. Too few open lines means customers spend time angrily waiting; too many, and the store loses money paying its employees. It’s also important to get the right mix of regular and express checkout lines, and perhaps even self-serve lines. Which combination is best depends on what kind of customers the store has.

In this assignment, you’ll build an event-driven simulation for a grocery store, which will model customers using different types of checkout
