The Queue
You have waited an hour for concert tickets. A friend arrives just before sales begin and asks to join you. The people behind you have waited just as long. If your friend goes to the back, the tickets may sell out before they reach the counter.
Do you let your friend in?
Then ask
- Would it matter if you had told them you would save a place?
- What if everyone behind you agreed except one person?
- How many friends could join before you refused?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
