Is a comma required here?

He then walks up to the counter and slams down his item infront of the cashier.

Double predicate?

Hi, He then walks up to the counter and slams down his item in front of the cashier. I don't see a need for a comma here. The two parts of the sentence are short enough to be easy for the reader to identify.
