So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

A pub I go into encourages people to not form queues, that'd be great if the staff could keep track of who is to be served next. Which they don't. So people queue and do so in a way sociopaths can't skip it.

This makes a lot of sense. Essentially this will only happen in a bar that has bad bartenders that can't do their job very well.

If the bars don't want it happening, they need to have better service.

I wonder if designating like 8 lines would help the issue. Portland Oregon (US) has this same lining up at the bar issue.
