Thank you Bob. Well explained.
The key there is "average".

Bob W,
Gotta do the math.
The service rate is fixed. The length of the queue, be it one or two
lanes wide depends completely on the arrival rate. Stack 'em in one
lane, two lanes, or three lanes it doesn't matter. Average wait time
will be the same.
The issue is fairness as some asses try to cut into the queue and get
thru faster.
For every minute they gain on the average, the rest of the group
suffers an additional minute wait.
Regards, Bob S.

Sure, but the earlier they merge, the longer the pipe (ie longer
service
time), which leads to longer queues.
