To Waiting in Lines Outside Bars
Are you kidding me? No, really. Are you kidding?
I’m sorry for being so agitated, I just can’t believe there’s a line outside this bar (my bar, by the way), and that it’s going to take me 25 minutes to get to the front, plus another ten to actually find a seat and get my drink on. All I want is a little nip from the old booze fountain after a hard day’s work! Is that so wrong?
I suppose it must be because instead of a soothing alcoholiday, what do I get? A line. A big, massive, snaking, stinking (quite literally - hipsters don’t shower much) amusement park line.
What is it about waiting in line to get into bars that gets me? First off, I hate waiting in lines, period. A wise man once told me that the only things worth queuing for are bread and rollercoasters. I think he was quite right so we’ve already started out on the wrong foot. Secondly, this is a bar, not the IMAX theater. George Lucas is not in there with a secret never-before-seen Star Wars episode, so WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?!?
Oh yeah: Friends, frivolity and after-work release via LEGAL STIMULANTS! Can you feel my pain now, friendly neighborhood vice-peddler, or are you too busy counting your money?
I know. Let’s make a deal! I will stop whining and wait like a good citizen if you begin serving drinks in line. Or, at the very least, make like In-n-Out and take our orders in advance.
Yes? No? Who’s with me on this one?
