Line Jumping: It's the Groups
From the few days I've spent at the park this season, the line jumpers are the "lost group members" trying to catch up with their group.
Yesterday, Siren's Curse, here comes three children about the age of 12-14 shoving their way up the line. NOPE. Me and my two friends stood in the way and reminded them that line jumping was cause for removal from the park. (Cue the whining.) "We're trying to catch up to our group!" Legit, their group was way up the line, but tough beans. Oh, and it get better. The adult chaperone from the group comes back DOWN the line to argue with us about letting the kids pass! We told that adult the group entire group could move back down the line to join their wayward party but in no way, shape, or form were those people jumping the line to join that group. Adult goes back up the line. A few minutes later the group is standing there waiting for the line to pass until their party caught up. As WE passed the adults in the group started harassing us in front of the children they were chaperoning, something about this is a school group yada yada yada. I told that adult "This ain't your school, you don't own the park, follow the rules" as I passed by their group.
What a summer THIS is gonna be. The worst was the adults defending and condoning line jumping.
