had such a problem with people with a lot more than 10-items (the limit there is 10 items) in the express lanes that after such signage (somewhat less offensive of an implementation) failed to work, they had to resort to English and Spanish PA announcements that basically say:

"If you get in the express lane with more than 10 items, the cashier has been instructed to refuse to ring you out and direct you to a non-express lane when you get to the register. Individuals with 3-or-less items and paying with credit or debit may check-out at customer service."
