We need the concept of a workers queue in shops.

Sounds slightly like communism, but not.
Yes. The current system is clearly not working. Creditism would be better than the current system because it would self regulate, using something I like to call credit forces; those who were more credit-efficient would succeed through natural selection, and everyone would get more and more productive and credit-richer. There would be no need for regulation of any kind. Ever.
Mmm, that's good satire.
I think I may well be old bean. Tip tip.
So waddyou suggest? The governing system could give out credits to let people looking for work survive, I suppose... but what if they went and spent all their credits at the pub? Also, what if the owners of credit worked together to exploit the under-credited class - the creditariat? My this is getting complicated.
That sounds familiar! Like, you know - what we have at the minute
No we don't need a concept of worker queues, because I could be on the dole, I may be on my way to a job interview, and therefore it's YOU who are making ME wait.
Or perhaps express checkouts? though this does seem to exist already, it usually "10 items or less", it should be changed to "5 items or less"
I hate waiting to pay for petrol in my full power ranger suit, when there's someone who decides to do their weekly shop at 0700hrs in the morning, or says "Oh I forgot something, I'll be right back"
Yes, a Credfair state would definitely be a bonus, although the nature of people ultimately means that it will nevertheless be abused by some, and thus the state should be more heavily involved in closing areas of manipulation. Although, a system whereby the state supports those who fall on hard times with free credit (as life is inherently unpredictable) is something to be proud of.
Rather than throwing large proportions at credit at those who were fortunate enough to be in such a position, I would advocate a more even distribution. Although in reality such a system would be open to mass-corruption, and as such I would instead suggest that those who have more credit instead share it through their own omission with those who don't have enough credits to allow mobility. The state could help through identification of such areas, hot-spots and individuals.
I would push for the elimination of all credisocracy remnants which promote such inbalances in the first place. Should such inbalances begin to be addressed, I believe much of the 'grassroots' corruption and manipulation would all but disappear but for a few sporadic cases within a generation or two.

The reason most people eat at the same time as you is because its lunchtime. There are a lot of people that will have their lunch between 12 and 2. Thats considered "lunchtime" to most whether they are unemployed or not.
What I want to know is how do these "poor" people afford to eat out at lunchtime anyway! Dammit!

The problem is compounded by the removal of manned checkouts and the introduction of self-serve.
