    r/r/MaliciousCompliance Posted by u/subliminalconnection 2 hours ago You want to cut in line? Alright. S OC A I was at Costco the other day and I had just finished punching my food order in at the kiosk and was on my way to the order pickup line when a large, heavy set, angry old man wearing a US Veteran baseball cap blocked me with his shopping cart so he could cut the line.

    I'm not one to get in a fight over a spot in line and I could tell that telling him off was not going to go anywhere good, so I let him be. But I did notice something during my assessment; he did not have an order slip from the kiosk. At least, not that I could see. So I waited.

    Imagine the grin on my face when he finally got to the window to find out that he had been in the wrong line the whole time. Carrying my order back to the car I wore that grin as I passed that dude who was now at the very back of an even longer line than the one he had just left empty handed. I could have told him he was in the wrong one. Maybe saved him some anguish, but that is not a courtesy I believe he deserved.

    subliminalconnection OP. 25 min. ago That's the one. There's a self serve kiosk to order from that spits out a slip for you to take to the pickup line, or a separate line to order and pick up from for people who don't use the kiosk for whatever reason.

    My Costco calls out order numbers now so we don't have lines anymore. It has caused a lot of confusion and saved a lot of time. That roast beef sandwich takes forever to make!

    I am glad that you were able to get your order completed and on your way home, OP!

    chaoticbear 38 min. ago This tradition is so weird to me (and from listening to veterans, weird to a lot of them as well). Wonder if it's a generational thing.
