Do seniors who cut queues at hawker centre and wet market stalls annoy you?

[True Believer]

Some seniors feel entitled owing to their age and frailty. As such, they believe that younger customers would not mind them going to the head of the queue to place their orders with the hawker or wet market stallholder. It has happened to me several times, and I have no issue with it since it is always a single elderly person - not an entire group. How about you all?

This type of situation often calls for common sense and common courtesy. Many people are comfortable allowing an elderly person to walk in front, especially if they are visibly frail or have few belongings.

I concur with you since my mom and mom-in-law often go to the wet market with their maids. However, any prolonged standing would be a tiring and aching experience for them. I would appreciate younger people allowing them to head to the front of the queue, so they may make their purchase before taking a much needed seat to enjoy their breakfast.
