Good thing he didn’t head to the front of the line if I was waiting. I suspect everyone here would have something to say if they were in line too..........LOL!

Who paid for the lunch? I’d say that it’s taxpayer dollars at work through the constitutionally indefensible stimulus package.

Whoopdie doo! He bought lunch for the two people who were behind him when he jumped the line. I wish it had been me behind him, I would have told him I don’t let scumbags buy me lunch.
