This is why EVERYWHERE that has people line up needs to have a “one line” system, where the next available cashier/teller/clerk helps the next in line. Banks can do it. Marshall’s can do it. Why can’t everyone do it? It’s fast, it’s fair.
Absolutely correct. Lots of research and lots of data to show that is clearly the best system. The real question is “Why don’t managers implement this proven best practice?”
I primarily pick my line based on cuteness of the cashier. Sometimes it’s worth waiting behind the old lady with a fistful of coupons and a checkbook. The one line system kind of messes that up.
haha…. so very true.
The most dreaded words to hear when shopping, “Price Check” on something for the customer in front of you…
or the few times someone writes a check
Oh yeah. And have you noticed that women don’t start rummaging around in their purse/suitcase until after the cashier has finished ringing up the order?
I think there is a deeper story here.
Maybe, in life, the shortest line is not always the shortest path.
Or
Short time “gain” makes for long time “pain”.
