She's out of line, but she's right.

But then the person behind her would just wait to move at all until she's made it through, the line would continue to grow backwards and each next person would have further to walk, and have to have better prediction times/cause longer waits at the service till.

It's a meme, don't over think it.

You can't "reference a meme" whose text constitutes a response to the discussion (even modifying the quote to make it more applicable to the new situation) and then try to pupu someone when they comment on your response. You're tryna have your cake, eat your cake, and deflect anyone who mentions that you ate your cake too. And that's not allowed.

If you wanted to make a non-sequitur, you could have. But you chose to make use of a quote that (by omission of further context) espouses agreement albeit grudging agreement with one of the two prevalent positions being discussed and so you're now in the discourse.
