    No kidding. Too many idiots in the world to have civilized traffic like that. :D

    This is called a zip merge and actually helps traffic.

    It's most frustrating to me how few people understand this very simple concept.

    It would be if the lane Car A used was strictly intended for merging. It wasn't. @Buck Turgidson

    I was speaking generally, not about you. Due to highway construction, I've had to deal with a 55mph (posted, not actual, because people) zipper merge for the past 6 months or so, and it is a source of consternation.

    I have no opinion on your situation, other than if it bothers you enough I'd find a different coffee shop.

    I was born there. I used to call it Jerkville USA. I see they may have graduated to a higher plane of rudeness. But, I guess I can’t condemn all of you over a few bad apples. o_O;):D

    The Chick Fil A by my work has it down to a science, they have people out in both lanes taking orders and directing traffic on who to get behind, went there for lunch today and it was a breeze. Order ready when I got to the window barely even stopped..........it was packed and I bet I wasn't in line for 5 minutes. It can be done but if you leave it up to common courtesy your screwed by some idiot who feels the need to cut in front of you

    Strong move would have been pulling up to the window and asking for nuggets.
