There are two possible queues in the supermarket . . .
Why is it the one you decide to go for is always the slowest to move?

It’s even worse with social distancing and the checkout now seems miles away with two metres between everyone in the queue!

There is always that one customer in it who has picked the only product in the whole store with no price on.  Or the checkout operator decides to plonk the ‘checkout closed’ sign right before your shopping pile.

It’s the same at the cashpoint.  I always end up standing behind the person who decides now would be a good time to print out and check a monthly statement, check the balance on all four of their accounts and then print out receipts for each transaction!

Then, there is that fleeting thought that goes through your mind . . . shall I change queues?  You battle with this little voice inside your head telling you “NO!” as you know that, as soon as you move, your original queue will move at the speed of light!  It happens every time!

So, you move queues anyway, despite the little voice and, yes, your original queue starts moving quicker than Matt Hancock’s hands behind the office door . . .

Please tell me this doesn’t only happen to me?
