Extract
We all have experience of waiting in a queue. We have waited in the dentist's surgery for treatment, we have queued at the supermarket check-out with our trolley or stood in line at the Post Office to buy stamps. No doubt we have had frustrating experiences in such situations, but before we rush to criticise the discipline of a queueing system we should think about the mad stampede for the next bus that can occur in some parts of the world.
