What is first come, first served?

Can you explain what 'first come, first served' means?

Sure! 'First come, first served' is a principle where the first person to arrive or request something gets priority.

Where is this principle commonly applied?

It's commonly used in queues, customer service, and resource allocation, like ticket sales or restaurant seating.

Are there any exceptions to this rule?

Yes, sometimes exceptions are made for VIPs or urgent cases, but generally, it's about fairness in order.

Can you give me an example of it in real life?

Certainly! Think of a bakery that only has a limited number of pastries. The first customers to arrive get the pastries.
