Wow can’t wait to share this tip with my fellow first grade students

😆 Oh someone's feeling sassy.

I feel like metaphors are great when they end up relating to the real world.
I could tell you a long story about cooking dinner too, but if I don’t make it relate to the process at hand then it’s just a boring story about cooking dinner.

Really? 2 people doing the same work are faster than just one person? How long have you been sitting on this information?

[@LaylaPomper]

That would a very simplified example, but hardly the pure value!
Rather than having Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 to ship an order (aka linear processing) you could do Step 1 and Step 3 at the same time so they’re both done before Step 2 begins (aka parallel processing).
It’s a bit more than just “throw more people at it” logic. ✌️

Then suddenly two lines form, one to each cashier, and you will have no guarantee your urgent process/cart can be prioritized in this scaled up system, because you could be unfortunate to have put it in the line with the deadlock to places ahead.

[@LaylaPomper]

That’s possible! You might want a different strategy in place if you expect big variation per order time. ✌️
Or, just have the lines split later.

GREAT stuff. Keep going.

Thanks, will do!
