The staff works very hard to do these things and keep the line moving. I have had many excellent meals there and the fact that is is a busy place says that a lot of people feel that way. I would rather spend less time in line and enjoy the meal than have a greeter at the door.

As has been said in many places, good help is hard to find and I am sure the VK has the same trouble finding competent help. A lot of the staff has been there many years and does a great job.

If I want to be greeted at the door I can always go to WalMart.
I don't need a greeter, but one of the people passing by one of the many times could've said "Hi, we'll get to you in a minute."

Instead, what happened was, from us and people in the line behind us, "do we just stand here or is there a wait-list or what?"

There literally was no recognition we were standing there as everyone passed within a foot or two of us.

Like I said, not a huge deal, but weird enough for people in line to be thinking about.
