Can't they queue?

I have been living in Indonesia for three years. I want to talk about my experience in a Hero supermarket, about four weeks ago.

I went to Hero, with my wife and my three-year old son, to buy some daily commodities. After I found what I needed, I went to the cashier. There were already many customers lining up to pay for their goods. I joined the queue.

But what a disgrace it was. Some people jumped the queue. I had to wait for 20 minutes until I got my turn. I was very angry and annoyed, but I felt I could do nothing about it. Being ignorant about the culture of this country, I did not dare complain to the people who jumped the queue. In fact, I often encounter this problem in many other places.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule. For example, we should give priority to a mother carrying a child.

Public order is important for all of us. It can help make our lifestyles so much more convenient and harmonious.
