Queue up properly?

alleggerita SG

Why until now some Singaporeans still dunno how to queue up properly?

Ladies who go washroom will know what is the proper way of queueing up..have to queue up in ONE ROW only and wait for empty cubicle before going in..this is fair..better than forming rows in front of every cubicle..

Same for ATMs..some multiple ATMs, like 3 to 5 in a row, have lines on the ground to make people line up in one line to wait for vacant ATMs before going over..better than forming queues in front of every ATMs there..

But fastfood restaurants never implement leh..they really should.. Confused

welcome to singapore Mr. Green

FireIce SG

toilet one one line is understandable
so dun block the ppl washing their hands... cos toilet not bery big

atm machine each have own row ok mah... not blocking anything......

dun think this kinda thing has to be rules-enforced
just use common sense

Hello Kitty SG

the tip is dun geh kiang.

i follow hw in front ppl q.

alleggerita SG

But not fair mah..when you queue up in one row like toilet, then fair for everyone..if not you queue the shorter one, but in the end the person in front you do transfer of money, then you wait longer than those who actually queued up at a longer queue.. Laughing

alleggerita SG

I don't geh kiang, I kiang tio ho..

I see how people queue, I also queue in that manner..

But we really should learn from Japan and everything queue in ONE single row only.. Confused

GHoST_18 SG

goin thru the fare gates, goin up/down the escalators and boarding the train...

alleggerita SG

That's why I think queue in one row and wait for your turn is the fairest of all..no conflicts whatsoever..and you reminded me..supermarket should do that too.. Laughing

FireIce SG

Crying or Very sad

oberon SG

if it's a single queue, the queue will be very long. pple will take their own sweet time to do their transaction as they think" u wait for the other atms lor", and the queue stays long.

if there's a queue for each atm, some pple will be considerate to do their transaction faster, some are very slow, you can try to ask them if they've got a problem.

alleggerita SG

Nope, if there is only ONE ROW of queue, the pressure is even greater, because there are now more people waiting to use the ATM..

And if someone is slow and you try approaching to ask if he/she has a problem, later they think you wanna peep their password.. Laughing

marcolow SG

You're right! Very Happy

When there's a long queue behind me at ATMs, I'll usually just do a quick cash withdrawal of $50.

oberon SG

this pressure is dispersed among the no. of atms and so wont be tat big, and who are u going to choose to ask him or her to act faster?

nobody ask you to stand so near to ask them.

some place is too small for multiple queues, and so single queue makes sense.

alleggerita SG

Single queues MUST need a lot of space meh? Why must think until so straight, literally? Why cannot queue in a snake manner?

Darkness_hacker99 SG

For ATM hor.

Let's say there are 2 ATM. Then the Queue (exclude those using) will by 2(x - 1), there'll be a lot of people in one straight line.

The line will be in increment of (x -1) for each ATM leh.

As compare to 1 line per ATM, which is (x -1)

Maith SG

girls toilet need to queue up meh?

alleggerita SG

Why cannot queue like this? Must think out of the box, cannot think until so straight, literally.. Confused Laughing
