She is deliberately trying to hurry you - one of the ways they keep prices down is by employing fewer checkout staff but moving people through the checkouts faster to compensate.
That's why the end of the checkouts usually have the cutout too - the idea is that you put your empty trolley up against it to make it easier to put stuff back in.
