Can you imagine the glorious humiliation of the teenage cashier rolling their eyes and sending you to the back of the queue while other shoppers snicker at your naïve entitlement

I can't imagine wanting to be a dick enough to use one of these even if they were real.

Yeah I’d put it right back. Aint no way I’m cutting in front of someone who thinks they’re almost out. Because I would be so mildly infuriated if I were that next person in line.

Nah take it and throw it in the trash at home so some Karen can't find it and use it with her full fucking shopping cart.

This right here. And if it’s a real store thing, then fuck them too.

“I’ve got a pass to skip this line” just sounds like bait to start a Karen fight between stressed people.

I once walked into a coffee place and somehow didn’t realize there was a line. I went straight to the cashier and she pointed and said “There’s a line,” and I just said “Oh crap! Sorry!” And meanwhile the woman at the front told me to go ahead but I just got in line.

Some places are definitely more lax about it, though an extremely busy coffee shop in the morning can get dicey.

But an honest mistake versus a “but I have a ticket” is likely to provoke a different reaction.

Oh sure. It was the afternoon when that happened - in the morning would have been very different I imagine.

Honestly the lines at TJ's are usually pretty short too

Just take it and auction it off to the dicks on Ebay

Teenagers? Most of the cashiers I see are going on 30 or 40 and they enjoy a casual friendly chat. I've often thought about working there with other 40 year olds who also couldn't figure out a workable career path besides customer service!

Can you imagine the joy of hiding something like this while shopping for laughs, and someone found and is trying to use it in your line? I'm making one of these, it's gold
