Oh, yeah, I count. I figure if I can pay attention to how many items I have, and get in the right line, I'm entitled to notice whether others do -- and if there's an opportunity to comment without making a scene, I do -- usually just a sarcastic aside to the next person in line. Too often, though, it isn't until the offender has unloaded their stuff that it becomes apparent, and then it's a bit of an issue for them to move elsewhere, so they don't. I wonder if they ever take the comment to heart and mend their ways.
As for the person with one item -- I like it when someone with more stuff lets me take my one item through ahead, so yes, I do invite the person behind me with one item to go ahead.
