There are very few things worse than a queue-cutter, but one thing astronomically worse is a queue-cutter who is well-aware that everyone is onto them, yet they continue to try their luck! The only solution to these types of shoppers or 'wait-ers' is by making them wish they had never entered the store in the first place. This man is the prime example of lesson 101: taking down a queue-cutter (yes, I know it sounds like cucumber, get on with it.)

Deli Edition: This man is sick and tired of the entitled lady trying to cut in front of him at the deli. She's loud, obnoxious, and not even trying to hide her impatient intentions. So to teach her a lesson, he overhears her ranting about how 'all she wants is potato wedges,' so he decides to order every single last one…Making her leave empty-handed. Perhaps if she were kinder and more patient, she and her potato wedges would have been having a wonderful night together, I guess we'll never know…

  • Some could even call him a genius. However, I don’t think she will be the one to do it…There is a standard procedure when it comes to standing in line, and if you’re not going to follow it, it is likely that you are going to be called out, or worse….THIS COULD HAPPEN. If you love potatoes as much as we do, or anything worth waiting for, remember to take deep breaths and keep your salty comments to yourself, your time will come.

  • “He did WHAT!?!?”

    It wasn't a long line; I was 4th or 5th in line & the last person in it. Up walks Some Lady (that's what I'll call her) and what I presumed to be her daughter or granddaughter.

  • Anyway, SL keeps trying to "jump the line" each time a person was served, and the patient deli worker kept telling her she needed to wait her turn, with SL getting more & more frustrated that she could not just do what she wanted.

  • Guy before me goes, and I hear her telling her daughter/granddaughter "This is ridiculous. I just want some wedges..."...this being Petty Revenge, we know exactly what I planned to do upon hearing that...
    via docfallout22
  • Finally, we get to my turn, and she tries to jump AGAIN, only this time I pipe up and let her know the end of the line is behind me.
    via docfallout22
  • She did not like that AT ALL, exclaiming "this is bulls ! It's 1st come, 1st serve!" The worker and I just stared at her until she walks back to her Irritation Area off to the side, and I see there are scant few potato wedges available.
    via docfallout22
  • So! I tell the worker I'll need more than what's available, and he says they'll need to drop some more. About a 5 minute wait (it was longer than that, closer to 10 as it turns out).

  • Knowing what the lady wants and that it's not there, I say he can help her. They go through the same process, which irritates her further, but says something like "Fine! Might as well at this point!" and steps aside in a huff.

  • New wedges are brought out, and I see her start to move like she's going to jump in front of me, but I remind her I'm next to order.

  • Deli Guy asks how much I want (usually in pounds), and I quietly say "I want all of the wedges".
    via docfallout22
  • "All of them?" "ALL of them..." He cracks a bit of a smile and says "Sure thing!" and gathers them up for me.
    via docfallout22
  • I start to walk away, slowly, so I can see the aftermath, and SHRILLY she shouts "HE DID WHAT!?!?", and whips her head around to me.
    via docfallout22
  • I wish I could say I locked eyes with her & ate a wedge right in her face, but alas that idea came to me as I recounted the tale to my wife at home.

  • Best $14 I ever spent.

  • Johnny_Wish_Bone As someone who has worked in a deli, I have had similar things happen to me. I can with confidence say, you made that deli workers day by doing that! I guarantee that guy still tells people about the time an inconsiderate customer got her comeuppance!

  • Not_Apllicable She clearly doesn't understand what 1st come 1st serve means

  • FormInternational583 You taught her the lesson of patience, but I very much think it won't wedge itself into her consciousness.

  • ExiledCanuck So she said "it's first come first serve".... With a straight face, while trying to budge in line?? LMAO Oh man, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! For buying all those wedges!

  • xubax Someone (this is my wife's story) tried to cut in front of the line of people at the express coffee line of a Dunkin' Donuts saying, "I just want to get a coffee." Someone else told them, "We ALL just want to get a coffee, get back in line."

  • Former-Fig3342 I would have willingly went broke buying all the wedges.
