I had a whole 0ther idea for a totally different post, but driving home today I saw human beings doing something that really got my juices flowing. I was driving home and saw an incredibly long line, meaning out the door and around the corner, outside of Chipotle. There must have been close to 100 people in line, and this was at 7:00, not even really dinner time. Most of the people in line seemed to be college age. My only guess is that CHipotle was having some kind of free give away to mark the beginning of the semester. My guess is that it was something like, come in wearing some school spirit and get a free burrito.
This weekend I just had a conversation with a buddy of mine about waiting in lines. We both came to the agreement, that waiting in lines for pretty much anything is stupid, and a waste of my time and patience.
I got to thinking about what it would take for me to wait in line for a free $6 burrito. It looked like that line was bordering being nearly 1 hour long. What would it take for me to wait an hour for a free burrito. If I had any sense of personal respect, and any part-time job that paid me more than $6 an hour, there would be no logical reason to wait an hour for a free burrito. I could just work for an hour and earn money and go buy my own food without the line. However, I do not think most people think this way, they just think "hey, free, usually over-priced, food. I'm there."
My advice is to "get a job sir."
