Carwash Etiquette - input welcome

Hi everyone

I came across a situation today which I'm not sure if I've handled correctly. Keen to get your input and happy to take criticism if you think I should have done it another way.

So I went to a Coles Express with a car wash machine. There were 4 cars lining up to use it. So I thought to save some time, I just drove up to the end of the queue, stopped the car and went to the shop to get a car wash ticket. As I got out of the car, another car pulled up behind me, saw me get out, and realised that I didn't have a car wash ticket. The driver then started shouting abuse at me for lining up at the car wash without a ticket.

I said there are 4 cars in front and they are unlikely to move before I came back with the ticket. So what difference does it make to you? then I walked into the shop to get my ticket and a couple of drinks. More abuse followed on my way back to the car.

Obviously, the guy felt very strongly that I should not queue up at the car wash machine without a ticket. I didn't think I did anything wrong, but I just copped the abuse and walked back to my car.

What do you think? is it alright to start queuing at the machine when there are 4 cars ahead?

Keen to get your thoughts.

Probably not correct etiquette, but it sounds like he overreacted at the situation as well.

I am more stunned that you would use one of those rubbish Coles carwashes in the first place.

This is what I think. Even though it's kind of an annoying thing to do it is better time management on your side :)
