    Normally what happens is that one register is open and a long line forms then the second cashier opens the other register and the people in line just start taking turns going to the open register.

    Everyone is probably having a bad day,and behind schedule.
    I always let others go before me,maybe helping them out.
    Sad what I see.

    What you witnessed is known as the "herd mentality."
    People followed the leader and assumed there was a problem in the short line so they blindly followed others and stood in the long line thinking, "If I ask why everyone is standing in the long line they will think I'm dumb, so I'll just join them so I won't look stupid."
    Sheep and lemmings are notorious for this behavior.

    Since it was was a just a candy bar I would have let it pass but you looking like Steven Segal wouldn't have stopped me from saying anything if you had two candy bars.

    Not all of us are "collage" graduates and have figured out we can pay at the pump.
