They stand in the queue for five minutes and then only start looking for their cash/card when they've finished!

Happens in public transport all the time.
This happens with older people. They're probably 20 minutes early, because they're all used to the bus arriving between 16:20 and 16:50. It was like that in 1951, wasn't it? They're not informed about the fact that nowadays, a bus actually arrives at the stated time of 16:42, +/- 1 minute. +/- 2 minutes if you're unfortunate.
Then, when the bus arrives, those people get in, then remember their check-in card, and go hunting for it, in 25 pockets, three bags, some wallets and purses, and the bus just stands there, after which the driver frantically tries to make up 5 minutes.
