    Let them go, if they are older they earned it, and don't have as much time to waste.
    I saw a video with a lady that cut a line, they guy she cut told her something.
    She went and got her X-con boyfriend who beat him, the X-con went back to jail where he belongs.
    But not before the man that complained had to have reconstructive surgery to fix his face.
    Just not worth it, you never know.
    My mother got punched in the face for telling someone not to cut in the line for the ferry.
    I say let em go.

    I am not normally very confrontational, so I usually bite my tongue, but on occasion, I might say something. But, not unless I am prepared to enforce my advice. If I am not prepared to move them, I mind my own business.

    Really depends on their attitude. If they generally don't realize they're skipping, which happens often, then I may be inclined to politely make them aware. If it's sneaky or intentional, I'm definitely not letting that one slide.

    If it's an old dude I yell out "Hey is that The Golden Girls?!!" & while they looking I just breeze right by them (That one works everytime!) But if it's a young dude trying 2 cut me off I'll be like "Yooo Slim Shadey ...U trying cut me bro" ....But women I try 2 be a gentleman cuz I'm stupid like that

    Keyboard warriors. I wonder how many of the people who posted would really behave the way they are saying they do.

    Anyway, I don't think I have ever had someone do this but if they did I guess I didn't figure it was worth getting worked up over. Just let them go. Why let some stranger's bad behavior ruin your day?

    It doesn't happen to me. I guess looking intimidating has it's perks.

    Your mother got punched in the face!
    That's crazy! Where was the ferry...geeze!

    As soon as they walk up side by side to me, I turn to them and say, "you in line?" If they, "yes." I happily say, "the line is behind me." Then I politely smile.

    I used to agree about giving the older generation a pass until the day a senior did it to me in such a blatant way that the person BEHIND me said something....old lady just grinned like a Cheshire cat. Couldn't help myself, had to refer to the fact that obviously her time was more important than mine, especially since she's retired and has all the time in the world to go through a checkout line. Who cares if I had worked all day and needed to start my second shift as a single mum and get the kids fed, homework and then housework done. Have to agree with Michael190lbs above, it would have been worth the $300 lol!

    If I'm at the store I tell that person where the line starts and they usually go to the end of the line. I haven't come across such an *kitten* yet who doesnt give a damn and when and if I do, I have no idea how I'll handle that one. Hopefully my RBF and my glare will scare the crap out of them haha

    I'm not sure I've ever been cut in front of, I leave a normal amount of space between us so as not to be on top of the person in front of me. If someone pushed into that space, the Jersey would come out and I wouldn't drop it until they left.

    I totally cut someone in line a while back, nothing about their positioning indicated that they were in line (other than the fact that they were near the register and not IN the aisles). They commented that they were in line, I pointed out that they clearly weren't, otherwise I would've gotten behind them. You can't leave nearly 8 feet and be in line.

    I was actually in line last night waiting to vote and there was a gap between the line and the place to sign for voting. An older couple walked up right to the line where the sign in was and I politely told them the line starts at the back of Isle 4. They said thank you and moved on. I think if you do it with tact it won't be problem.

    If they cut you, you can cut them back.
