Son K and I were at a Costco warehouse store the other day. We will often line up for the free food samples. In this particular line, it seems someone cut into the line. A person behind was annoyed. I was a bit further behind in the line, but I heard myself say 'that's not right'. The annoyed person nodded her head in agreement. Next thing I know, the lady in front of her was staring pointedly at me and said 'that's the new norm', she said it twice. Would you have had a response to this? I have trouble thinking on my feet. I hadn't actually witnessed the 'cutting in line', but I think she must have let a friend into the line ahead of her.
Anyway, I have some hub cap art for you today. I took the first photo a week before the 2nd photo. It's the same hub cap which had moved down the street, I think.

People are sometimes very impatient when waiting in line. Recently 2 elderly men really had a fight by the cash desk as one thought the other was too slow - they both got thrown out and were told they were not allowed there anymore! Nice photos with the hubcaps. Hugs, Valerie
Rudeness and impatience can occur in lines. It would be nice if people could find ways to calm themselves down and quietly wait their turn. And not push in!
Cutting in line should never be the norm. If someone cuts in front of you then you push them right back out. Something is only the norm when you let it happen. Respect the queue.
Then by all means cut in front of the person who cut in front of line.
This was really cheeky and impertinent but unfortunately you find these kind of people around the world. So I mostly ignore it and assume one day they have to pay for their impertinence. The single hub cab looks funny.
I like the hub cap art! I think it's fun that it's taking a little trip. I hope at some point someone finds it who can use it. I don't think it's fair for people to cut in line either...
Rudeness should never be the "New Norm"....I get so tired of the lack of common respect and courtesy in the stores these days.
I do like your hubcap travels...Some day I'll post my "Missing traveling Duck Story".
As far as a good come back for her....ask me at midnight. grin. I'm terrible at thinking on feet and so admire people that do.
i can't think of a quick response either until i get home and repeat the story, lol... hubcap travels. wonder where it will go next? have a great night. btw, hope you got what you stood in line for despite the cutter.
Interesting shadows in the second photo. I sure hope what you witnessed is not the new norm. That doesn't sound like a very happy place to be.
It's probably best not to have a quick retort, anyway, because it could escalate into an argument, which you don't want.
Hub caps are expensive. Mine cost over $90.
I'm pretty mouthy but I don't know what I would have said. Funny about the hub cap.
I never think fast enough either. The other day, someone cut in front of me at Wendy's. He had two kids though and probably wasn't thinking. I let it go. It wasn't worth it.
