[ Derek notes that the line is short and that's a good thing, because he'd really rather just sit and talk than be standing and trying to small talk to fill in the blank spaces. It's easier to just get into normal conversation when there isn't an inherent feeling of short-term nature. A line suggests slow, constant movement and then when one gets through it, they move on. What's the point in starting any meaningful conversation while standing in line? ]
What do you recommend?
