People who can't order properly at Chipotle

this isn't chipotle or food related but it is about lines, and technically ordering. i guess.

for the LOVE OF FREAKING GOD when are people in the "self checkout line" going to figure out that 100% of the time one single-file line will move faster than two individual ones?? i purposely stand right in the middle of these things and people will still walk next to me, and try to take the next available.
NO. NO. NO.

"but you weren't in line for this one"
oh, but i was.
i was standing in the middle so i could get the next available auto checkout thingy.
which is what you should do too, b/c that guy over there (points to opposite line) is almost done and i'm not. see how that works?

sorry, but WTF? it seems so very basic.

and in honor of @walter i'm drinking diet mt. dew for cinco de mayo.

Just went through this at Depot yesterday, 2 lines of course but this was the case before I arrived. Anyway, people are just looking for the easiest way out, so if they can reason a way to weasel past you they'll go for it.

Back to yesterday, there were no regular lanes open and the line was 4 or 5 deep. Some cranky old man walked up and very loudly proclaimed that they needed to hire some Home Depot cashiers. He then bitched to a forklift guy who was waiting for his flag escort. Then he went to complain at customer service at the other end of the store. Took me less time to wait in line than it did for him to walk.
 
we have the tortilla salad bowl today for the festivities
bagged lunch was a little salty so went by to grab a bowl of brown rice

they did have one of the Hispanic cafe workers wear a sombrero while serving
other lines included the Celebrity meals choice, today was Vikas Khanna, tomorrow probably Martin Yan. Both were here last year peddling their grub. First 2-3 times wasn't bad, but menu is same every time
 
I did went to Chipotle, everyone ordered fine and I was even served by a mexican looking fellow. I wished him HBD.

Not PC but I think this is a cultural thing. I notice people of certain ethnic backgrounds tend to have no concept of lines.

You should see how the lift lines work in Europe when skiing. It will drive you completely batty. Maybe we are too structured.
 
what's everyone doing for Cinco De Mayo today?

Fiesta time... Tacos with lots of Guac, Nachos, Taco Salad, Corona and Margaritas (Well, Wifey is drinking, I'll watch)
