Good morning posters and how are we today?

Here's a peeve of mine, and I wonder what you think of it;

People who have been queueing for a while and when it's their turn to get served, or dealt with, aren't ready with the necessary stuff.

An example might be when in a queue at an airport and they haven't got their passport or boarding card to hand.

I know what you mean! I always seem to get stuck in line at the bank or grocery store behind one.

Like check writers? Though that's becoming a thing of the past.

Even if you do write a check at the grocery store, you can fill out everything but the amount and get your ID out while the clerk is ringing up your stuff.

Unless, of course, you have to bag your own groceries ...
