Questionable Queues

While sitting in my economics class I realized I was in desperate need of a coffee.  In this business building, there is a Starbucks downstairs which is inevitably hosting a line of at least 10 people.  During our five minute break, I walked downstairs and saw a line of about 45 people.  Why?

I assume these people also were in desperate need of caffeine.  I also assume none of these people had the brains to walk outside for 30 seconds, cross the street, request a large coffee from one of the food trucks, pay a dollar, walk back across the street, and be back inside.  As long as it took me to do that, my classmates had moved up 3 feet in line.  If that.

HAHA. SUCKERS.  You also paid at least 150% of what I did for 75% less coffee.  Me = WINNING!

But seriously?  Why such a long line?  Why wait in such a long line?  I believe I'll file this as further evidence that groups of people are stupid.  I mean, come one.  Groups of people decided paper could beat rock, and clearly that is just not true.  Next time you get in a fight, try throwing wadded up paper balls.  Guarantee you that the person throwing rocks wins.  If they have good aim.  Or any kind of aim.

  1. I always dig a good alliteration. Also, you're right, they are dumb. Unless they have a gift card. Then I think it is justified.
