Pet Peeve

I get so annoyed at some coffee shops. Why do people stand 8 feet behind the person ordering their coffee? It isn't an ATM or airport customs, is someone's coffee order so secret that the rest of us have to stand so far away we can't see which scones are left? I was craning my neck over the woman with said annoying habit to try to see what was left in the pastry case, and she actually looked at me like I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry, when did the coffee line gain rules like the ATM? Plus, said lady was wearing a sweat suit. In public. Complete with elastic at the ankle opening of the sweatpants. So who was really doing something wrong?
