you ask once and if they refuse you bypass them.
if they stop you, apologize then wait for them to get distracted again and go.
it won't take them long to keep up with the line, I guarantee it.
But shes still right. Assuming that everyone is still in the queue area and not overflowing into the general concourses, it does not matter when she moves. The forward progress is an illusion if youre still queued after you move.
I think it’s just people want the illusion of the line moving so they can feel safe of reaching the end of the line, cause at the airport you want to the quickest way to your gate.
Yeah, it makes sense, but thats a emotional choice. You do that because it feels good, it seems productive. I think this is pointing out shuffling forward 2ft every 2 minutes is actually more of a waste of effort then going 40ft in 20 min. You need to exert some common background attention that we all just got used to doing with the shuffle way. The "leap forward" method is likely more mechanically efficent in a minute sense.
It feels better, but it's technically worse.
Emotional and rational get damn chummy when my missing my flight becomes a risk. I seek to eliminate unknowns to 0, such that I am SURE I'll make my flight. Each checkpoint is an unknown of trouble, and until I'm papered and present at my gate I am seeking choices to arrive there.
