  • Annoying little teenyboppers PWND!!!!

    By me, and I loved it! I go from job #1 to job #2, and don't have much time in between. There is however, a Panera in the same shopping center as my second job, so i will sometimes stop in and grab something quick.

    Went in last night, and there was a line, 2 cashiers open, both helping people, and a woman and her daughter in front of me, then me. The two offenders come in, look around, and sort of sidled up to the side, past me and the two in front of me. Looked like they were perusing the menu, but i had feeling they were trying to cut in line. So the cashier calls next, the two in front of me go, and then the other one calls next, I start to move up, and little teenybopper #1, starts to move as well. I just looked at her, and said calmly and politely, "the line is back there", stepped up to the register and placed my order!

    Didn't look back, just paid and went to get my food. the two in front of me comemnted that they were not about to cut in front of them, and i said the same, then they said they had ASKED if they were in line! no, we are all just standing around looking like idjits! hahahahahahaha Sorry girls, if you felt waiting in line was beneath you, but MY mother taught me its polite to wait your turn!

      I had someone try something like that at the supermarket a few years ago. The place was packed, and ever register was busy. The line I was in was long enough that it curved off to the right. This older, middle-eastern lady walked over to where the line bent, and stood there like she was going to try to cut into the line right there. I'm sure if I would have called her on it, she would have pretended not to speak english.

      Instead, I didn't acknowledge that she was there, didn't even make eye contact, and stayed close to the person in front of me, moving as soon as they did, so she wouldn't be able to squeeze in. The person behind me did the same thing, as did the person behind them, and so on.

      Eventually she realized no one was going to let her in, and gave up and walked away.

        I think I've mentioned this happening a couple of times to me, but can't recall off the top of my head.

        I approve of this pwnage.

          So do I.

          I've done the same thing as Mad Mike when dealing with a potential line jumper. That and a steady glare usually run them off.

            It was just funny because it was soooo blatent. And they would have literally had to wait another 30 seconds as i am in there all the time, and know what i want, nkow how to order fast, pay and move on.


            "Instead, I didn't acknowledge that she was there, didn't even make eye contact, and stayed close to the person in front of me, moving as soon as they did, so she wouldn't be able to squeeze in. The person behind me did the same thing, as did the person behind them, and so on"

            I've done this as well.

              This was happening at the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving. The place was packed, all the lines full as well as self checkout.

              Only thing is the people waiting in the self checkout left space for others to go past while a employee would wave the next person up. It's simple and courteous. Only thing is leaving that space to let the rest of the store move through the main aisle was a BIG mistake.

              Somehow people think that others are waiting in the cashier man'ed lines are just standing there for their health. It's like some of these people were thinking, "Oh self checkout lines are so much smaller and I think I'm just so much smarter and luckier than everyone else to notice this!!!"

              They look at a person standing behind them, then another, then another and realize they're cutting 20 other people and then proceed to moan and ask "this is the line isn't it?" When I got to the front of the line, one old couple was successful in cutting (I'm thinking unwittingly) because they walked up to a register just as the employee who was supposed to be watching the checkouts looked away. I didn't even bother saying anything because they seriously looked like they stumbled upon a goldmine and thankfully a register opened up shortly after. I had to move fast too because the employee looked away AGAIN and some lady tried to weasel her way in but wasn't successful. She looked over and saw the line and started cursing.

                I remember once I was waiting in line at a concert and these two girls tried to push in. We were waiting outside the concert venue to be let in and these girls walked up and down the queue. Now, my fiance and I had been perfectly aware that this concert was sold out and that we'd have to queue for a while, so we'd made sure that we'd get there fairly early so that we'd be close to the front. We saw these girls walking past us, then they came back and oh so casually tried to squeeze in front of us.

                I said to them, "Excuse me, but we were here first." One girl said, obviously trying to brazen it out, "Oh but I thought you were saving us a space." I replied, "Seeing as I've never seen you before in my life, that would be a no. Fuck off to the end of the queue."

                Everyone in the queue near us was laughing as the girls gave up and walked to the end. What a nerve!

                  I've lost track of the number of times I've said, "The line is back there," and pointed behind me. I have a very effective glare to go with it. Being old and crotchety does have some benefits.
