I hate lines and usually are willing to take a slightly worse serving than a long line. I appreciate if I can pay more to jump the line. Why wait 1h if you can

I hate lines and usually are willing to take a slightly worse serving than a long line. I appreciate if I can pay more to jump the line.
Why wait 1h if you can jump the line for 10 bucks.
- simonebrunozzi 8y agoPaying is a bad incentive. Similar example: poor government services become incentives to bribe officers to "get ahead". That's why in many government offices, inefficiency or friction is actively introduced by its officers, and doesn't just come from the top down.
