'It's ridiculous': publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served

[Anxious Antelope]

I mean come on , have you seen those lines outside pubs? It's not just about fairness or social pressure, it's about personal space ! People need to learn to chill out and stop worrying about what others think. I've been to bars in the past where people would just hang loose and grab a drink without queuing up like they're at a supermarket checkout . And what's with this "it's a new norm" business? Newsflash: it's not cool, it's just weird . Pub owners should just stop worrying about being seen as deviants and start enforcing some basic common sense rules, like limiting the number of people in line or having a designated area for queuing . It's not that hard, folks!

Ugh, what's wrong with people these days? Can't they just chill out for once? Like, I get it, everyone wants to be fair and all that, but come on, it's not like we're at a bank here... Single-file queues are soooo annoying! And I'm all about enjoying a relaxed atmosphere at the pub. It's supposed to be social, not some military-style drills! I swear, if I have to wait in line for another 10 minutes just because one person is being cautious about personal space... No thanks! Maybe we should make it illegal or something? Just kidding ( sorta)

idk what's going on with pubs rn , but i remember when we used to just chill and grab a pint whenever we wanted... now it feels like we're in some kinda scene from "grade a" , like, can't we just have a relaxed vibe again? anyway, speaking of vibes, have you tried that new coffee shop downtown? their cold brew is fire

I mean, come on... single-file queues at pubs? It's just so awkward and uncomfortable for everyone involved. I've been to Wolfpack and Wylam Brewery, and yeah, it's just not what you expect when you walk into a pub. Like, don't get me wrong, I like having some order and all, but can't we just have a chill vibe like before? And what's with people refusing to spread out? It's not that hard to move a bit, is it?

I'm literally so over single-file queues at pubs ! I mean, I get it, people want to be fair and all that jazz, but can't we just chill out for one second? I've been to Wolfpack in London and Wylam Brewery in Newcastle, and both times the lines were, like, ridiculously long. And you know what's even more ridiculous? When everyone spreads out across the available space and still manages to make a line! It's not rocket science, folks. Just spread out a bit and enjoy your pint without having to wait for ages, right?
