Randall Do people stand in single file lines at the bars in your area?
this is happening in Sydney too! it drives me fucking insane... it seems like a post-Covid thing here, mixed with zoomer politeness.. first noticed it at a festival at the Marrickville Bowlo a couple years ago where the lines were like twenty metres long, there were signs up saying 'please do not line up, find a space at the bar and we will serve you', and yet... the single file lines continued. to the point where i was just walking past the lines, going straight to the bar, ordering in front of everyone and being thanked by the bartenders for doing so. what the fuck happened? WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY.. and the rules of that society involve leaning on the bar to save your space and talking to the bartender while they pour beers.
i hate it so much (but for as long as i can skip the line and be justified in doing so, then man, maybe it's arright)
