My neighbor was recently in England and I asked her if she went to Gateshead, She told me as part of the trip she was required to visit a seminary.
She had taken 2 planes to get to Gateshead after a long flight arrived there and was Starving. She walked into one of the stores to get and sandwich and was told she could not be served because “It was the Boys time”.
So she BEGGED the owner to sell her a sandwich and he refused because it wasnt the girls time.
She had to WAIT until the Girls time to get some food (She did not know anyone in Gateshead)
While the wait was only a few hours, When you are tired after a long trip and starving, it might as well be forever.
This is a case where a Chumra overtook a HALACHA
