Re: queue jumping
Some miserable old sod tried this last week. Three or four of us were queueing up politely and this bloke just waltzed to the middle of the bar. We politely told him there was a queue and brazenly he said "I don't believe in queues - all that means is you got here before me. I'm entitled to get my round in, just the same as you." Normally i wouldn't have done anything but I just shrugged my shoulders, stared at him and said "Oh well, let's all push in, eh?"Re: queue jumping
It must be a British trait instilled into us mustn't it. We were after all brought up being taught good manners and told we must never push in front of other people in queues.Re: queue jumping
Maybe at one time i wouldn't have said anything, but now the gloves are on and i tell the barman/woman that i'm next, and also say how long i have been waiting to the person who believes they were at the bar before me. I just hate it also when local people think they should get served before anyone else too, what makes them so special?Re: queue jumping
Re: queue jumping
I would have said something *excuse me I am next* and most people would say oh I am sorry. It was obvious your lady was intent on queue jumping and couldn't care a fig. Being rude was unexpected but seems compatible with the sort of person who will push in as she had done.Re: queue jumping
