February Mussar Dilemma
Continuing with our shopping environment, one of the students in our Mussar group raised the example we have all faced.
You are standing in line at a busy cashier. Suddenly a second cashier opens the cash in the next lane. The person in front of you was next to be served but the new cashier announces ‘I’m open over here’ and suddenly a new line forms from those who were waiting behind you.
Clearly the person in front of you should have been served next and has been ignored.
You could:
(a) Loudly tell the new cashier that the person in front of you should be served before the others in line.
(b) Say nothing and do nothing
(c) Wait until after you check out and then complain privately to the manager about the cashier
(d) Quietly speak to the person in front of you in line and let them know you are aware they should have been served next.
