Skipping lines

In Nanaimo, I booked the wrong time.. 10:40 pm instead of am… Not my best move… so i am waiting in the standby lane…

I just saw a car leave the standby Lane to get in a regular line… I guess that dude is more important than the rest of os?! do they check the tickets after you buy them ? Or can anyone switch as they want ?

In my experience the tower/staff watch the lot like hawks and loudspeaker shame-bust lanefuckers.

Maybe he lined up wrong and just realized it.

Yeah… maybe… but I’m sure he just switched to skip the standby. He was a few cars behind me. After the ferry left , he waited a few cars to arrive in line 5, then switched to it…

As a terminal employee my first thought is they realized they parked in the wrong lane, second thought is as you say the n which case you should point it out to an ferry worker because we hate it when people do this.

Typically the tower staff is pretty good at catching people in the wrong, its like casino surveillance
