Last night I was to meet up for some delicious Shake Shack.
I had never been but have heard of ridiculously long lines for it, and if there’s one thing I usually don’t do, it’s ridiculously long lines. There are hundreds of place to eat good food, drink and have a good time within most neighborhoods, so I just don’t see the point.
Anyway, my best guess is that I was number 250 – 300 on a line that stretched far, real far. This meant that once my friend arrived we booked it to a bar for buffalo burgers, YUM!
When I first stepped on the line I was behind a group of European tourists who kept looking at me as if I was invading their personal space. They kept turning around and giving me dirty looks, this despite my giving them plenty of room to take stupid photos of themselves in Madison Square Park.
Eventually more and more people got on line behind me, and that’s when said European tourists realized that they had been taking photos of themselves while standing on a line for a solid seven minutes.
What’s to be learned here?
Tourists are becoming dumber by the day…
