Reply to comment by eightbitbrain in Single file line for a drink at AS220 by AgedParmy

Meh, when I was tending bar, if I was getting rocked and could talk to the next customer I would take their order as I made a drink. Can't do that really with a line.

what you're describing is creating a line because people see that whoever is nearby to who you're currently serving gets served next because it's convenient for you, so they all queue up in that area. the only difference is they might be to the right or left or wherever they can fit

Well, not really, because bartenders mostly notice the order in which people arrive, and I have a neck that can swivel 180 degrees, enabling me to address different people. The only line it creates is a horizontal one in front of the well/taps, which does not create a long tail that disrupts the barroom. I also can take orders as I run drinks to other parts of the bar.
