jbmlaw… substitute Taco Bell, McDonald’s, ice cream shop, hot dog stand… frozen yogurt kiosk, vegan sandwich shop, organic juice bar…. the library, the bank….surely you’ve been in line someplace!
And if there’s a decision to be made, I’m sure to be in line behind someone who can’t make it:
“Could I have two tens, instead of a twenty, please… no, better make that a ten and two fives…or…. um…. give me ones, instead of one of those fives, please…no, wait… that won’t fit in this wallet…better give me..oh gosh… I forgot… I need quarters….”
Really, if you haven’t made up your mind, the polite thing to do is let someone who has, go ahead. Unfortunately, courtesy seems to be a foreign concept for some.

Seems to me he’s always “behind” that sloth cos it’s so attached to him…He must not realise his own animal magnetism.

Never been to a Starbucks, outside my frame of reference.

“I can help somebody on three..” instead of:
“I’ll help whoever is next”—-and then enforce it. “Sir, this lady was ahead of you”.
