Waiting In Line

at one time I would have made up an excuse thinking oh maybe they are in a hurry, I have lots of time and so on and so on, Not any more, If some one cuts in front of me I tell them I was there first and to go to the back of the line. ,It is the same for children I was at MacDonald's and this little girl was waiting in line ever so patiently, and this big Olaf comes up and brushes her aside, and the lady said to him may I take your order sir, I said no you may not this little girl was here first Take her order first. The guy just glared at me and stood there I was next and he tried to step in again, so I said don't you get it there is a line and you are at the back. this is the front. He stormed off with a very red face, He should have been embarrassed. he was a rude idiot.

I hate confrontation so no I usually don't say a word, but usually someone behind me does. :) I do feel it is rude especially when it is obvious that their is a line. I just think that because people are so busy and wrapped up in themselves they just don't pay attention to others or just don't care. Either way it's very rude. Just my 2 cents as always! :)

in the past I would have just let them in and got on with it , But lately there have been a lot of things happened in my life and I am now trying to be "Me" so now I would politely say " sorry but I was here first , do you mind" I am trying to do things like that a lot more as I have been told all of my life I was too soft , well no more , I am a changed woman lol , and I am beginning to like me more xx

It really depends on how long the line is and how long I've been waiting. If I've been waiting awhile, then I'd quite plainly tell them where to go. However, if I've only been there a few minutes and the line isn't so long, then I'd probably let them get away with it.

This has actually happened to me. What I have done is to look and see how many items are in the cart. If only a few and I'm not in a mad rush to be somewhere, I let it go. BUT if they have a full basket, or if there are other open registers, no. They are reminded that I was there first. Usually, what I hear is, Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were in line. Now, that may, or may not, be true but at least it's polite and the problem is resolved.

I think if someone cuts in line they need to be told but in a nice manner. You dont need to make a scene. first of all that only draws attention to yourself and second perhaps they dont even realize they are cutting in.

Depends on my mood sometimes I will wait and when the clerk is ready to help the person I would say ummm we were next and this person needs to move back behind me or at the end. But lucky it doesn't happen a lot to me.

Well you know what, it depends on if they have less groceries than me...If they have less, I say go on ahead I can wait... If they have more than me, I do tell them I was here first... I have ended up yelling at folks that pick fights with me and I have been nice to those that ask me nicely... And by the way, I am handicapped with back problems and no one hates to stand in line worse than me, so for me to allow someone in front of me is real courtesy... I hate people who act as if they are entitled...

I tell them because I cannot stand rude behaviour. Sometimes like in a line up for the bank or the bus people really do not know where the line begins. Most of the time when you tell them they are nice about and just go to the back of the line.

This is one of my pet peeves. I will tell people if they try to get in front of me. My time is just as valuable as theris. Now if they ask me nicely I might consider letting them ahead of me. And most of the time if someone has just a couple of items in the grocery store, i will let them go ahead of me.

Depending on my mood that day I'd probably think of doing both. No one cuts in line and gets away with it.

I would tell them that they have to move to the space they were supposed to be. That this was a line and that is what lines are all about. I would say it in a nice way because you tend to get a persons back up when you get snippete with them. But the fact remains I would say something.

LOL that really irritates me when this happens, unless it's a very sweet old person with just her veg for her tes, i create a stink, i live in Spain and they absolutly love to jump the queue..all very well but we all need to be somewhere.

Don't be a soft touch, tell them that everyone has to wait so it should be the same for them, if they want to start being the hardman just tell an assistant and they will probably be removed from the store.

Actually I would tell this Person as I find that very Rude specially if I have been waiting for a While. If someone only has a couple of Items I normally let them in front anyway. But if someone just pushed in front I would say something in a Polite Manner.
