There is only a single line. There are not two lines to choose from.

Why should I wait behind the person who wants to unload a cart of groceries when I can just jump right to the payment machine.

In many situations like the one you outlined the person serving would also handle cashier duties. This is not unusual at all, especially during slower periods or short staffed etc. so no just no the goofballs who think cutting in line to get a gift card is okay.
Claims social behavior is not OOTs strong suit; Comes to super rigid conclusion.

I know what's going on here !

How do you buy a gift card online that you're giving a coach as a gift again?

Go to the company's website, purchase gift card w/ credit card, print out gift card. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes and no line.

Giving someone a physical gift card as opposed to a lol home printed piece of paper is 99% of the reason you stand in line.

Actual $10 gift card > $10 bill >>>>> giving nothing at all > computer printed gift card

Lol at gift card ever being a thoughtful gift.

By the way you can buy physical gift cards online for huge discounts you overpaying goofballs.

Just paypal or venmo the dollars if you care. You know why there are sites with huge inventory of gift cards selling for 1%-75% off face value? Because people love getting gift cards as gifts obviously.

Rethink the gift card thing. $10 worth of ice cream is either 2 or 3 incomplete purchases meaning these coaches will soon have another stupid card in their wallet with less than one visits worth of $ left until they either throw it away several years from now or are forced to go and supplement with some of their own money on ice cream they may not want in a shop with stressfully confusing service.

For someone who hand rings about inconveniencing people I can't believe you put them in that position without considering it.

UPDATE: I noticed that the gift card is still sitting on my wife's desk, obviously undelivered to the coach. Seems pretty likely I'm going to enjoy some free ice cream this weekend.

So how would you feel about gift card buyer going straight to the register while you stand in line for your scoop?

He shouldn't have any feelings at all about it since it won't change the amount of time he waits for his ice cream dish to be prepared.

Yeah, I would care 0 unless it obviously increased the amount of time I had to wait at the cashier.

I bet you will care less than you think even if it held you up. You'll be too busy licking ice cream.

Went out for ice cream at one of the local designer/craft/gourmet ice cream shops the other day—I got a scoop of coconut-chocolate and one of peanut butter. Yeah, that's right, the peanut butter was amazing.

Anyway, line-ups routinely go out the door and past a neighbouring shop or two. We were fortunate as the lineup was relatively short and contained inside the shop that night. Mind you, if the lineup is ever too long when we go back I am secure in the knowledge that I am welcome to "SKIP THE LINE BUY A PINT"—cause that's exactly what the sign says at the upper left hand corner of the pic.

This place knows what's up.

Where is the go stand directly next to A option in the poll.

That is what I would do while mumbling, "just getting a GC". I would also be paying with exact cash so no way would I slow up B.
