Scenes From The Bar:

1. Early thirties, appearing to be single, guy is standing at the bar, in the line for the prettiest bartender in the building. He is third in line behind two other people. Fourth guy walks up and points out there there is a completely empty line next to the pretty girl's queue. The 30-ish guy waves him aside and chooses to stay in the 3-deep line.

The guy that was trying to provide the advice skips to the empty bartender and gets his drink served and is gone, before the waiting dude even advances forward one spot in his line.

He response after all of this studious examination is to ask for "Great Western", the only brand that is in the case.
