I hate queue jumpers.

I feel like a weirdo now. Whenever I buy alcohol or cigarettes, I open my wallet and get my ID out before I even get to the counter. And if I don't pull it out before then, I say "Hold on, let me get my id out before you swipe that." Then I have it out before they even ring it out. Is that wrong of me or something? After reading all the stories I feel like I'm the only person who does it.

You can't do that at this petrol station; I believe that some petrol stations have pay at the pump, but not this one. In any case, if we did have one, we'd only get people coming in all the time going, "This pump is broken!" and driving us mad. XD

There are still a handful of service stations here in my area where they don't have the pumps that accept the credit cards . . . meaning customers have to go inside to pay before the clerk will turn the pump on.

Such are the pumps at the Quick Stop around the corner from me. One plus to that is they don't have to worry about drive-offs.

Sometimes the queue jumpers get slapped down by the queue...
My father (78 and still kicking ass) was in the queue at Tesco one day when a woman tried to push in front of him, saying 'Excuse me, I'm in a hurry'. Whereupon my dad fixed her with his death glare and said 'Yes and so am I, and so are all these other people behind me. Wait your turn like the rest of us!'
I LOVE my dad.

Right on! A big to your dad!

Sheesh, most of us learned to wait in line in kindergarten. Where do these speshul snowflakes get off thinking they can queue-jump?!
