Queuing Tips

Tips when Queuing in Malaysia:

1. The shortest line always has the slowest/new/trainee/problematic cashier.
2. If you see a middle age woman lining up alone, you might pobably see her children (minimum: 3), around her the minute she at the counter. Of course she has to buy ALL the stuff to ALL her children including those who at home.
3. Always talk loudly about your life when queuing. People in front of you LOVE to hear all about you. If you're alone, call somebody or pretend you're talking on the phone.
4. If you are in a group, divided the group and locate each one in EVERY line. You don't know which line is faster, do you. Futhermore, this will trick the people who is lining up that you only want to buy for yourself.
5. Don't plan on what you want to buy when lining up even you have 20 minutes of waiting. Make your decision when you are at the counter. Take your time, the lines behind LOVE waiting.
6. Or better still, ask everything about the menu/show at the counter before making your decision (even though you know everything about it already). You don't want to regret on your decision, do you.
7. Move you body/head/legs/hands when you are lining up to show that you are an active person. If you accidently step/punch/slap the person behind you, don't apologize. Who ask them to stand so close to you, isn't it.
8. If you want to cut the line, pretend you're reading the menu/show times/information and then slowly step in the line. Make sure you stand near the line and pretend that you're there all along. When people behind you tap on your shoulder, pretend you don't realize it and start searching your phone and pretending that you just received a phone call. Hang up the phone when you arrive at the counter.
9. Lastly, if you think queuing is troublesome, just don't queue at all. We are kiasu Malaysian. People will understand lah.
