To be annoyed by customers who implement a single queuing system at the cashpoints

[knpeppa]

... and glare at you because you start queuing for an individual machine.

Because they're afraid that the other queue might move faster and they don't want to look silly? How long does it take to use a cashpoint anyway - 2 minutes at the most?

And then it all breaks down when one of the machines is different from the others and people only want to queue for that one.

Single queue starters - get a life! If having a single queue was possible, the bank would do it.

Er, ok bookworm, wasn't saying I had a problem with rows of tills so not sure if I've missed something.

Oooh, I had no idea people felt so strongly about queuing!

Just to clarify: I'm not talking about single queues in banks, shops etc which are generally quicker. I'm talking about when an individual CUSTOMER decides to start a single queuing system off their own bat, e.g. in the cashpoint lobby of a bank, when in fact it doesn't work e.g. because some of the machines give out £20 notes and others only give £5 and £10 notes so you have to choose an individual machine.

But it's not earth shattering. I just wondered if anyone felt the same way ...

No I was criticising the tills that go around a desk instead of in a row. In my case, the girl on a free till wanted me to go forrard to her but the floor manager wanted me (and everyone else who was trying to queue around racks of clothes etc) to wait behind a line in case we saw something we shouldn't. Mind this particular shop does tend to raise my bp anyway.

Ohhh, got you now. Sorry

that's ok - I was getting irritated just thinking about it earlier!!

I'm with you, totally!

why don't bars have single queues

Now you're talking Z.
