        Assuming the flow hash works well enough and the number of flows is 
small enough compared to the number of hash bins, this might be easier 
described as having an individual cashier per customer.
        However this has a certain Kafka ring to it, see

        I only remember the fancy store design they had, each location 
different; I confess I actually stopped on trips to "visit" different novel 
Fry's locations.

        But that still leaves the problem that the buildings egress capacity is 
limited and it might not be able to allow one customer per cashier to leave at 
the very same time.

        Are we sure what the guru is supposed to say yet? (Also didn't AmigaOS 
call some of its errors Guru Meditation? Apparently it did, see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation).
