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.

I just noticed. While they talked about comfortable size etc. all the time they were still explosively growing. It will be interesting to watch how they manage if their products really plateau. I wish them all the best and I can well imagin
