Line Cutters: Beware and Play Fair

By: Kayla McGee
We all have experienced that annoying kid in the lunch lines who is known for being a “line-cutter.” While other students are waiting patiently for food, this person cuts in line ahead of ev­eryone else and becomes next in line to get his or her meal.

Why doesn’t anyone stop this? Occasionally, there is that one brave student who stands up to the line-cutter, but why aren’t the other bystanders and victims standing up?

Lunch in the cafeteria is a cra­zy, frantic time. Everyone is on a deadline, and there is not much time to get lunch, eat it and so­cialize with friends. This makes it even more unfair for those who feel as though they are at liberty to cut in line whenever and wher­ever they want.

Although this line-cutting is not the biggest problem that Willow Canyon must face, it is certainly not something we should ignore. It just creates more chaos for students. The only thing that we can really do to save our school from this is to stand up for ourselves and tell line-cutters to cut all the way back to the end of the line.

But why don’t people speak up when this happens. Maybe they think that if they approach the line-cutter, they will be physical­ly harmed. Is it really worth it to fight over a spot in line? Everyone wants to be treated fairly, so let’s start respecting each other--their place in line and their time.

This nonsense needs to stop as soon as possible. The next time you think about cutting in line--just don’t.
