Trust me, I really wanted to avoid talking about this, but it’s the talk of the town.
Here’s a scenario for you:
You get a text from your friend telling you that Milas Kunis (or Channing Tatum for the women readers) is waiting to get his car fixed at the local mechanic. What do you do? You take to Twitter and Facebook (because it makes total sense) and let everyone else know he/she is there, too. You leave your house to head over and you see the mob that’s there because this celebrity had a problem with their transmission.
Not only would he/she pestered, but it would hurt the business as well.
Okay, while it may not be the same as Sidney Crosby being ushered to the front of the line at the DMV, the point stands.
Crosby wasn’t seeking preferential treatment — in fact, he didn’t even ask to skip line. The employees told Crosby to come to the front of the line so that they could get him in and out.
If they didn’t, the masses would’ve come and hounded him. The DMV did the smart thing. Can I see some people get mad because a celebrity got special treatment and jumped the line for those that were waiting? Yeah, I guess. I mean, I’ve never waited more than 20 minutes at the DMV and I was about the fifth person in line.
When it comes down to it, people are looking for a reason to complain and paint Crosby in a negative light.
