I admit we don't have a clearly defined line-up place.
Our cash desk is a long counter with registers spaced at certain intervals. There is a table with books in front of the desk, and people line up at the left end of the table, which makes sense as this is the end you would encounter coming from the store.
I received a page that the desk was busy, and I came to help out.
My register was furthest from the long line up, at the window.
I told the person at the front of the line I would help them at the end.
When I get to the end, a guy is standing at the end of the table by the window, looking pissed.
I help 2 or 3 people from the actual line before I realize he wasn't waiting for someone.
I wave him over and say 'Just so you know sir, the line starts over there.'
He gets MAD.
'How was I supposed to know the line starts there?!?!!?!? Everytime I come in here it's confusing!!! Where am I supposed to line up!??!! How am I supposed to know?!?!!? How does those other people know???'
Uh...You know because everyone else is over there?
He gets ranty as I ring his books up, saying everytime he's in here he can't tell where the line is...Yadda yadda...
THE LINE IS WHERE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE STANDING PATIENTLY WAITING.
I just tell him, 'Well now you know the line always starts there.'
He leaves in a huff.
I'm certain he just didn't want to wait.
