How to stand in queue

Now, why have we not thought of doing this! ?...........

    That would be fine as long as two people don't have the same pair of sandals.

    You could always attach a piece of string to yours.

Not a good idea.  Someone new could trip over the string, then you'd lose your place in line

Well then maybe we just better stick with the numbers system.

OF course, then you'd have the dreaded "Gym sock" smell to deal with too. No thanks.

Hehe, pretty good!
At first I thought that this was a genius idea. But a second thought; After one person has been served and the next one in line finds his shoes and goes to the register/window, all the other shoe owners have to lift from their seat, move shoes one step forward and then return to seat.
Otherwise the shoes line will move further and further away from the register.....
