Someone who has that “ME, ME, ME” instant (figure of speech, not literally instant) gratification, convenience oriented mindset that is so prevalent in retail, sees all those other players as obstacles in their way and is concerned only about themselves, will be unable to see the opportunities for social interaction that abound in situations such as the one you describe.
Those with a classic mindset who desire that truer classic experience and community, however, will not only see and welcome those opportunities for social interaction, but will make the most of those opportunities.
