You Always Pick the Wrong Line

About this listen
You choose a line, glance sideways, and the other one immediately starts moving. It feels almost universal. But behind this everyday frustration lies queueing theory, variability and a surprising amount of chance. This chapter explores why counting people is not enough to predict which line will move fastest, how a single slow transaction can affect an entire queue, and why one shared line feeding several counters often works better. We also look at why switching lines can make the experience feel even worse. Maybe you are not uniquely bad at choosing. Maybe you are simply competing with the mathematics of waiting.
