Skip Right Out Of Here

I worked at a bank, and during a busy Friday, we had someone there to do repairs. The repairman needed one of us to sign a slip, so I called him up and signed it. The whole ordeal took maybe twenty seconds.

Next Person In Line: “Ugh, this is ridiculous. I wish I could skip the line!”

Me: “Well, if you want to repair our equipment, you’re more than welcome to skip the line when I sign off on your work. Otherwise, you can wait.”

He was silent after that.
