I saw the whole video but he kinda lost me when he said he cut in line to get the bagels. He rationalized his actions by saying that he didn’t stop anyone from getting what they want, but what if the bagels had ran out while there were still people waiting in line? That means the next two people in line, who followed the rules, would have been screwed out of their bagels by someone who broke the rules.
He’s just assuming no one else will not get what they want if he breaks the rules. And that, to me, is very selfish.
