About this episode

This episode discusses the modern concept of waiting in line and the associated ethics, along with a news report on ketchup prices.

It’s something everyone has to do sooner or later, unless you’re wealthy, and that’s waiting in a line. But did you know that the idea of “lines” or “queues” is a modern invention? This week we discuss the pain that is waiting in a line as well as the ethics around cutting, fast passes, multi-lane lines, taking a number, and more. Also, a news report on the price of ketchup.
