And if the supermarket hasn't put up a barrier, there's nothing to stop you using the floor efficiently and going stright to the checkout. The quaue there is just as much an irtificial situation as the queue for roadworks. But I gather youdothink it would be wrong to push to the head of one and not the other?
So. Another queue where you wouldn't barge to the front just because you could.
merge in turn 1540Brimstone Rob Brimstone The only reason you get the above effect is because people don't understand the concept of 'zip merging' and block people who are making effective use of available road...
It sometimes works as you say, but people often form one queue for three machines. Are you saying you would ignore that?
And if people have started to form a single queue when there is room for two queues side by side to the checkout?
Not it the least. If people are zip merging, I zip merge. If people are single queuing, I queue. Why not? It's polite and it costs me nothing.
I have a friend who used to drive like a raving maniac in a Rover 100. Hmm ... who owned Rover at the time ... ?
So, straight to the head of the post office queue, then? Or is that illegal, senseless or illogical?
