Wainy316 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Why are queues meant to be exclusively British? Everywhere I've been in the world, people either queue or wait in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on the actual day I asked it I had seen something in The New York Times saying something like "Brits do what Brits do best and form a queue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've taken all the skill out of getting served When I Wor A Lad, I had a reputation among my mates for being an expert at getting served at very crowded bars. I eventually got pissed off at always being the one to have to do it. The skills clearly haven't been lost, as the wife and I were sitting outside a busy pub at the coast recently, and another woman had just sent her feller in to get their drinks. I went in after him, and came back with ours a couple of minutes later. About ten minutes later he finally reappeared, muttering about how impossible it all was in there. I did that whistling thing... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s because of shortage of bar staff as much as anything, but it’s stuck and made the best pub in Preston even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
