What is the thinking behind our line forming? It all depends on the customers and which way they are trying to get ahead of the next guy. What ever happened to one line per thing or cashier? This seems the most logical and fair.
Yesterday I was at the movie theater, in line for consessions. There were 2 cashiers, but it was hard to tell if there were 2 lines, because people were grouped in clusters. (you never know which it is as it changes daily, or even by the minute)
Well, the line moved up some, and it appeared that there were 2 lines, so I got into a line behind this woman. Then a woman next to me yelled at me saying that there was one line and they were alternating between cashiers.
Why has standing in line become so complicated? I want to go back to simple line formations! What do you all think of this?

It is about herd mentality and CONTROL.
The people that think outside the box and take steps to casually circumvent these petty dictators are way ahead of the curve.
