We have at last surmounted the peak sawtooth waves of insanity in this country. I've never encountered this recent fashion in our pubs and clubs, and would piss all over it if i did. Luckily it hasn't reached Leigh on Sea and i can't imagine the natives round here putting up with it.
Just take a butchers at The pictures in the X account below which is dedicated to it. it's a new phenomenon. Pubs/ bars are not post office counters to pick up form lcx49kj or the medical center for your blood test results to see if you have a dose of crabs.
It blows my mind. The bar staff implore people not to queue and to address the bar in the normal fashion yet they continue to queue up in single file at the bar looking like cattle waiting for the firing pin of the bolt gun in a slum east end abbatoir. Docile , iron curtain queueing for-Baby-milk formulae colostomy bags ,that cant work out how to use a bar.
Takes ages to get served with single file queues going back out of the door while the unused bar staff wait idly behind the jump yelling at people not to queue. Yet still they Queue. FFS.
All Waiting in single file to be served their Madri like some tuberculosis drenched brat at the window of a Mr Whippy ice cream van for his 3 halfpence raspberry Jubbly.
Is it in your Local,? have seen this carcinogenic shit in your pub?. Just say no, and walk to the bar with your head held high. Name and shame!

I had that in a supermarket in Milan, where some woman pushed through from behind us in the queue and started sticking her shopping on the bit of the conveyor belt that I'd left as a respectful buffer between us and the shopper in front. Cheeky cow.
The weirdest example I've experienced of that behaviour was in a station in China - you then had to run your luggage through an airport-type scanner before getting on high speed trains. While I was waiting for mine to emerge. the woman behind barged ahead of me, no doubt assuming her bags were doing the same to mine.

I've previously only experienced this in Spoons but went into the Thatched House yesterday and made a beeline for the bar as I was running late. I was on the end of a lengthy diatribe from an elderly bloke about my age, who I then realised was in a queue. He was incenced, I said I'd been coming in here for about 50 years, but he would not relent. Surely he could've remembered pub etiquette as was ?

I was in the Still & West in Old Portsmouth last Friday afternoon, 1 person serving, huge queue! Walked across the road to Spice Island, plenty serving, no queue, served straight away, back across the road to join my mates! Worth a visit on a nice sunny afternoon, few beers watching the ships come in and out.
Yeh , this is becoming a bit of an issue. Its getting worse for sure. Had a couple of daft altercations recently. Its happening isn't it . I was never a legit serious conspiracy theorist, just a casual one but humankind is slowly turning into robotic fkwits.

Listen to the old pagan Gods. Lord Summerisle has spoketh.
Do not single file queue at the bar of your local battle cruiser, lest your navel string be stripped from you and tied to a wicker mans corn fed Priapic phallus.
i Had this yesterday in the Hoop and grapes, Aldgate after work .. it's a sawtooth wave of barbarous carcinogenic bane into the pub culture of this country. thought of this..
I've very pleased to say no queuing in the White Horse/Swan? on Richmond waterfront. Someone who arrived where I was after me did try angling in to nip in as the bloke in front got served and was about to vacate the bar so I gave them a polite look and they stopped and they waited as I took up the vacant space at the bar. Nice to see old pub manners still exist or it may have been my full colour Carcass "Descanting The Insalubrious" T-shirt that gave them pause. One of the barstaff coincidentally was a Carcass fan. We are legion.

so you got there first and was served before the person behind you, sounds like a queue
