Op you should change the title to " I was triggered by a liberal today" that would be a more accurate description of this thread

OP was right, you fag liberals whining about what he did can stfu.

I was at a gas station, some enriched non white woman was playing the same game. I moved up behind a guy that was finishing. When he left the "woman in que" tried to jump in but i moved into her way and then the clerk ignored her to help me. I guess I used my white privilege card?

Not necessarily. I always that a good attribute of Americans is that we autonomously implement solutions. Aren't necessarily reliant on some source of authority to address matters.

I'd say that if you're not in line, then you're out of line.

I think I would have gotten in line ahead of her, since she was not obviously in line at that point, just waiting to make her move. It's not like one was cutting in line, since she was not in line to begin with.

I don't know about the rest of the stuff Op mentioned. Maybe there might be better ways to handle that part of the situation.

I'm willing to bet multiple people in front of her were also in a single line for two registers before he got there.

Are you aware that was my mother in that line and she has a severe medical condition which causes her to be that way? She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like that to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Studies have proven that a single-line queue leading to multiple servers is more efficient and results in less variation in the amount of time customers are kept waiting.

The alleged liberal lady actually had the right idea as to how to most efficiently serve customers in a checkout line. The fastest way to que is the way many banks do it with one line for all windows with the next person in line advancing to the next open window. OP didn't recognize a smart thing when it was presented to him, but he did recognize how to be an ass too.

+87. If the lines were set up with a "form one line" scenario, no problem.
As far as being a dick, ya get what you give. You weren't there to see her facial expressions and attitude. She had a very clear "You WILL wait for me" tone and attitude.
When she said "I'm queuing" she said it with a snobbish and entitled air about her. Fuck that.
I generally am a decent and considerate person, I will say "Yes Ma'am" or "Yes Sir", I will hold a door for you.

I really wish OP had chosen the line where the person wanted to dispute the price of something. Then after someone went to verify the price, they would realize that they left there debit card in the car. After they send one of their kids to get the card, the card gets rejected because they don't have enough money in their account to pay for all the crap they wanted to buy. So then he would have had to wait for them to decide what they didn't need.

Checkout lines don't move at the same speed and getting stuck in a slow lane jacks up my blood pressure to 300 over 200.

So today the kid asks me if I want to go to a pretty cool hardware store in Boulder, CO today, McGuckins. It's been a while so sure, I'll tag along. We wander around, I pick up a new pocket flashlight and some jigsaw blades. I go to the checkout lanes which there are 4 of. Two are stacked about 4 deep and the other two only have a couple people waiting. I go to get in one of the shorter lines and there is a lady standing right between the two shorter lines with a shopping cart, 60 something years old and I swear she looked just like "Ladyfish" from "The Incredible Mr Limpet".
I ask her: "Which line are you in?"
She replies: "I'm "Queing", I'm waiting to see which line goes fastest and then going in that one."
WTF?
I walked to a line, moving her cart slightly as I walk past her. She had this incredulous look on her face then sneered at me, I told her: "Well there now, your choice has been made for you."
She snaps: "Excuse me, that was very rude!" I told her: "Not nearly as rude as you demanding to tie up both lines so you can get your choice, Princess".
She snaps again: "Well I should get the manager!" "Go get whoever the fuck you want bitch, and take this as your "que" to leave me the fuck alone."
At this time it's my turn to pay, I do so and the gal cashing me out tells me very quietly "Good for you, she is a pain and treats everybody like trash."
The bitch is glaring at me, she is still waiting to pay, LOL.
Just then I "accidentally" dropped some change and when I bent over to pick it up I did it in such a way my ass was square at her, I know my shirt rode up a enough to print and I patted my ass in a "Kiss it right here" fashion.
The bitch was nearly in tears.

Never seen, nor heard of queing. But I agree with most of your actions, but not the language.

"Get out of my way, I have better stuff to be doing"- is my mantra when shopping. Therefore, my agreement with you getting stuff done, but you can still be cordial about it.

I would bet those studies are based on stores that are set up for it, and has one que feeding several registers. That is different than one person taking it upon themselves to basically be in line at two registers at once.

The multiple line was is obviously better, but that is up to the store to implement, not the special snowflake who is just going to make it that way when they show up.

Not a fan of Que'ing and not a fan of what OP "says" he said to a lady he had never met in his life. Have no problem with moving ahead in line, but to talk to a stranger who really didn't wrong you in any fashion, shows a serious lack of any manner or socialization.

What if it had been your mother or wife and somebody talking to them in that fashion? With what you said went down, your mouth seriously over reacted. But you want to pick a line and go with it, no issues.

Yep, the OP had it right. The 'Que' is a collection of people who don't know how lines work. I just pick one and commit to it. Sometimes, I wait longer, sometimes not. Not really a big deal.

Personally, I wouldn't have sworn at some old lady like a sailor in front of my own children, accompanied by locker room gestures and a rhetorical flourish but I would have picked a line and ignored her BS while I processed through.
