This is how you queue in Sweden, by taking a numbered ticket and waiting for your number to come up at the cashier. It's a fair and orderly way of queuing and it takes away the opportunity for people to be assholes and push in.
However, I had to wait a full hour to buy my rail pass which was a ridiculously long time.
Coming from London where there is a much larger volume of people, I couldn't comprehend why this took so long and why Swedish people were complacent to wait without fussing. It must be a trick of the numbering system - it's hard to see how it could be unfair.
