Can't they queue?

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.
