It's ONE dozen, because "a item" as in "a dozen" is incorrect. It would be "an item" and an is short for one.

What if you have 15 items plus one tiny item? Can't you just sneak that in? Why be so rigid?

I once got yelled at for NOT being in the 15 items or less line... there was a queue at that check-out so I took my few meager items to a regular check out with no line at all and a little old lady came up behind me and yelled at me that I should be in the other line.
that was immediately before I had to join witness protection |

I had 13 items and the check-out operator wouldn't serve me in a 10-or-less queue. I asked her just to take the first ten items, whichever ten she liked, and someone else could put the other three back. I've never seen someone so confused in my life and, of course, I got all 13.

In my store, if the express line is empty they will call you over from where you're standing in the regular line to check you out. Except then of course halfway through the checkout process, someone with 3 items will get in line behind me and give me violently dirty looks for using the express lane when I clearly don't belong there. I want to turn and sheepishly tell them that the checker told me to come over, but I'm always afraid that will just make it worse...
