Rat: What do you think you're doing, pal? Guy: Getting in line. Rat: Not in front of me, you're not. Guy: You're in line for that clerk. I'm in line for this one. Rat: Wrong, there's one line for both clerks. Guy: Yeah. Well, I made it two lines. Woman Clerk: We should really clarify the line situation. Man Clerk: Nah... More fun this way.
I had a queueing theory class when I was doing computer science in college, and it showed that it is much more efficient to have one line serving multiple tellers than to have one line per teller.
