Again, you might occasionally get passed over and have to wait slightly longer as a patron, but for the bartender doing this night after night it's much more efficient.

They wait on more than one person at a time. The line prevents them from being able to do that their way. A bartender might get 3 orders and start the one that makes the most sense to start first, do something else while the head is going down on a beer etc. While waiting for you to gather up your wallet and drink and get out of the way they're talking to 3 more people to your left. They don't go from order to change one person at a time while they bartend. It would take much longer.

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I just have that "fuck this guy in particular" look to me that gets me ignored
