I suppose you have never been at a food counter and had someone weasel
in ahead of you either. Maybe it is a cultural thing. There are a lot
of Italians in that city and old Italian women can be pretty pushy. We
get most of our meat from an Italian butcher these days. When we first
started going there it was pretty frustrating dealing with these little
old ladies because they would walk up to the counter ahead of me. The
counter people knew it was a problem and tried hard to deal with those
who were there first. Thank goodness they got a numbered ticket system.
