I walked into famous footwear today, it being tax free weekend it was packed. I couldnt tell where the line began it actually looked like everyone was still shopping so I just got behind the person that was paying, I was there for about a minute and then this lady taps me on the shoulder and says "um, excuse me theres a line." I turn around and theres probably a line of about 50 to 100 people. I automatically felt embaressed its one thing to cut one person but to cut 100 is a different story, I apologized and then walked out of the store embaressed. What would you be thinking if you were one of the people in the line, I want honest answers!

That SUCKS!! But in your case since you apologized I think most people would assume you just didn't realize there was a line. And when you left they probably figured you were irritated because not only had you already been waiting a couple mins but now even more people were in line that actually came up after you. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It happens all the time. Just a tip if you are at Walmart or a store with several checkout I like to go to the liquor department or jewlry department and check out there. Much much faster. ;) [ Never2bAlone's advice column | Ask Never2bAlone A Question ]

LM answered Sunday August 21 2011, 4:15 pm: I probably wouldn't have cared too much; stores should mark off where lines start for busy events like tax-free weekends (unless it's clear where lines are, like a supermarket). I probably would have told you there was a line and left it at that.
It's not really a big deal, I wouldn't have left the store over it, but I would have been slightly embarrassed and walked to the end of the line. Seeing as there was fifty people between the person I just accidentally cut and the end of the line, there would have been no further confrontation.
