   Tony was in line for the elevator at Macy's. Two men walked up. They went to the front of the line. They were very tall and very big. They looked like father and son. A Macy's employee spoke 1 up. "Sir," he said, "you have to go to the back of the line. You can't cut in line." The big man ignored him. "Sir," the employee repeated, "please go to the back of the line. It isn't right to cut in line." The man said, "I'm not moving." The elevator doors opened. People got out of the elevator. The man and his son walked into the elevator first. Tony and the others in line got into the elevator. The elevator rose. Tony said, "You're setting 2 a bad example for your son. Just because you're big doesn't mean you can break the rules." The big man said, "Who's going to stop me?"
