What would you do

I'm afraid I would more than likely be one of the vocal ones. I hate waiting in line to begin with so I would not appreciate someone making me wait even longer

I would definately not just stand there and let him go infront i'd probably be pretty vocal about it.

Oh I just hate that! and I do say something like there is the back of the line! go there. Once in high school was in the lunch line and a feller cut in front of me and I dont know where the pin came from but I stuck him with it. He never tried to cut in fron of me again or any one else lol

I think I would react right in the middle of the two extremes. I wouldn't keep my mouth shut about it but I also wouldn't yell at the person. I would ask them if they saw the line behind them and that we had all been waiting before them. I would also ask that they went to the back of the line and wait their turn like the rest of the people in line had done. I don't think that kind of rudeness, if they had done it on purpose, deserves to go unnoticed. I can understand if they didn't realize there were a line but not if they did it purposely.

I usually would say nothing, but if I was waiting for a long time, I would definately tell that person to go to the back of the line. I usually have friends and other people to do that for me though, since I tend to not speak up a lot. It rarely happens to me, so I don't have to deal with it a lot, but I make it quite hard to cut in front of me.

I have seen this happen many times and as you say, people will either say nothing or be very vocal about it. I would politely inform the person that there is a queue and where the end is, most people will go to the end of the line, sometimes it can be just a case they did not realise there was a queue . If they took no notice, I would become a bit more vocal about it and shame the person to going to the end of the line.

It is all according to the mood I am in. Most of the time, I just let it go, but if I am already having a bad day, I am very vocal about it.

I don't think I would take it so kindly if someone will cut in front of me at the grocery store. I will surely tell that person plitely to go to the end of the line especially if there are a lot of people behind me. It is unfair to let other people wait in line only to have someone cut in without even saying a work. People need to be reminded to show respect to others every now and then.

It happens to me too. I don't like it but it isn't worth making a big deal out of it. I hold my tongue. I am a cashier as well and I'm different when I'm on the other side of the counter. If I see someone cut....I overlook that person and I do tell the cutter that this person was first and proceed from there.

This happened several years ago. The guy who cut in front of me was loud and obnoxious, mean tempered and belligerent. So I was meek and let him have his way. I value my life! In ordinary circumstances when someone cuts, I speak up, courteously assertive.

I'll probably make him after me.lol.Its not pleasant to have someone cuts right in front of me,but if he asks his friend to check out for him,I'll say nothing about this.Seldom do I experience this.

Of course, i'd confront him/her and tell him/her, "hey, the end line is over there"! i would never ever tolerate that kind of action!!!

I have to admite that I am not one of those people who would just sit back and let the person in front of me. I had this happen to me the other day at walmart. I was in line with my two daughters, they were very sick and cranky and I just wanted to pay for my things and get out of there. Well as we were standing in line, a women took advantage of the fact that I was talking to my oldest daughter, and she cut in front of me. I turned to her and asked her if there was something I could help her with. She then told me that she was in a big hurry and needed to cut in line. I had 4 items, and she had a cart full. I then told her that she is no more special than anyone else in line, I had two sick children and I wanted to go home. I also told her that her being in a hurry, did not give her the right to cut in line, I then told her to go to the back of the line and wait her turn like everyone else. I had a very people wink at me and give me the thumbs up. I had thought that it was over and done with, as I watched to make sure she moved to the back, I realised that it wasn't. She had cut in line again and this time she cut in front of an elderly lady that apparently couldn't stick up for herself. I took action again, I asked the lady behind me to keep my place which she happily did. I then went to the front of the line to tell the cashier about the rude lady. When she was finsihed ringing through her customer she asked us to wait as she went down the line. She asked the women to move to the back of the line. Well that did it, the women then turned to me and called me a stupid nosy B1tch! I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I then told her that the only ICH around her was the ignorant people such as herself, who think that they are better than anyone else, and can't wait in line like everyone else. The lady wasn't happy and to make a long story short, the manager came out and asked her to leave, she then embarrased herself further by throwing her things on the floor and storming out of the store like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum. I guess that there are just some people like that and I think that more people need to learn to stick up for themselves because if we don't, people like her will just keep getting away with it. Happy mylotting.

If someone just cuts in front of me, I would very calmly, very articulately and without any facial expression ask him back to the end of the line. And if this guy turn a deaf ear to me, I will be vocal enough to shame him, remind him of civility. Actually I have once singled out 4 such short-cutters in the estate opening quotation activities of my building, when some would-be owners like me volunteered to keep the order of queuing. If those guys fail to receive enough education at home, they should learn from outside.

I am not sure what I would do. I am normally an easy going person, and don't like to cause a scene. Alot would also depend on if they knew what they were doing or if it was an accident.

I would have to say, "excuse me but the end of the line is back there". Why should someone else be exempt from standing in like like the rest of us? Rude people is one of my pet peeves.

I would most likely say if others were ahead that these people are ahead of you... I would also say if they are in such a hurry they are welcome to go ahead of me. xoxoxoxoxo

knowing me , i'd be quite vocal to. lol rudeness is uncalled for.

Hey Grandmaof2! I would speak up and tell the person where the beginning of the line is and where they can find the end of it! It has been done to me many times! If I have to wait my turn so does everyone else! It is just a matter of being respectful and waiting your turn. If I see someone that really looks like they need to go ahead of like a mom with a small child then I of course will let them.

Hello Grandmaof2....I think it would totally depend on how it happened and what mood I was in at the time. If someone really didnt notice where the line is, and it does happen in a cluttered store..I probably wouldnt say a word. On the other hand if it were intentional, it would again depend. Likely if it were an elderly or disabled person, again I would probably say nothing as I have been taught to respect both and two wrongs dont make a right. If it were just your average everyday sneaky pushy person, I would politely say, excuse me but the end of the line is back there. Any time that I am not in a hurry and someone only has a couple items and I have more, I always let them ahead of me anyways.
