Chuck had 2 of his kids there and 2 friends a third Friend if you count me but I just rode with him and kept my chips. So your "large number of people" is way off base.
If everyone starts getting in line twice then you will end up getting 1 or 2 chips for each ticket instead of 3.
As we all know Hooters keeps half the chips for themselves.
The place is worse then the Hard Rock ever was...but at least the Hard Rock always sold all their chips and once they put the line numbers in place everything worked fine.
So you quit crying and play by the rules. If you want more then 3 bring someone with you.
