I'll have to watch on this one, you may be right about Europe in general, but in France lines/queues are almost never seen.<br /><br />I'm told there's an interesting reason. During WW2 when France was occupied by the Germans, the people were forced to stand in lines daily: for food, registrations, etc. Afterwards, the people hated it so much that they vowed to never stand in line again. Thus today if you walk into a bakery, you won't see a queue, but a bunch of people milling about, all knowing the order of who's next.Michael & Joe Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192738400948268523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532806339426162478.post-73122533805870865582011-03-20T21:57:19.917-04:002011-03-20T21:57:19.917-04:00Europeans stay in queue.
