That said, for a rational being you’re having a surprisingly difficult time understanding why a shop struggling with unprecedented limited capacity, at its most busy time of year, might resort to planning a way to control who is in its premises and when.

As a rational being I’m sure you’re not going to start bleating about your human rights being infringed or other such nonsense.

As a rational being, I'm saying that the public understands that they'll have to queue outside JL - it happened last time the shop was open.

What the queuing people will get narked about is someone jumping the queue because they'd learned about the booking facility. It's psychologically ill judged by JL. I certainly don't want to glide past people who've been waiting for some time in the street because I've made a booking. (And it's nothing like the priority booking on an aircraft which does not have a potential excess of numbers wishing to take a particular flight).

Also, imagine this scenario. Let's say that the number of people booking a JL shopping slot reaches the shop capacity that JL have set. Then those who haven't made a booking don't stand a chance. I can entirely foresee this possibility. People able to book will hunt for the first available booking slot and if enough of them do this, then just like grocery deliveries, all the slots will be taken.

And don't compare me with an "impassioned animal". That's outrageous. My argument is entirely rational.

And your final paragraph is entirely gratuitous and not worthy of you.
