I bet it's constantly crowded since no one can figure out how to exit.
It depends whether other people are waiting or not.
Sounds like a “nobody goes there any more, it’s too crowded” kind of problem.
nah. you don't want all the people to leave at once.
That’s fair, I forgot how closely packed everyone is
Similar behavior at baggage claims, people stand as close to the conveyor belt as possible, blocking the view of people behind them. Then people behind try to get closer, etc.
People can't seem to find an exit.
Wouldn't now be the time to leave? A lot of people normally get stuck behind.
can't you queue with people
Wouldn't the people at the front of the line start leaving and coming back to the end?
