From Greggs Loyalists to Jab Addicts: How Weight-Loss Drugs Are Emptying Bakery Queues. AI-Generated.
The Morning Queue That Started to Vanish For decades, the early‑morning queue outside a Greggs bakery served as a reliable barometer of British life. Commuters clutched paper cups of tea, builders debated football scores, and the scent of warm sausage rolls drifted down the high street. However, in recent years, something subtle yet striking has changed. The queues, once snaking around the corner, now thin out faster than expected. Consequently, observers began asking a question that felt almost heretical: where did everyone go?

Roots and Fruit
Most people evaluate life by what shows. Results, behavior, success, failure, growth, collapse. Fruit is easier to measure than roots, so it becomes the focus almost by default. When something goes wrong, attention rushes to what is visible and immediate. When something goes right, credit is assigned to the most recent action. But this way of seeing consistently misreads causality. Fruit is never the beginning of the story. It is the result of something that has been growing quietly, often unnoticed, for a long time.

Learners Vs. The Learned
