Asians are just as impatient - I am not sure what your frame of reference is. I am no expert but lived and worked in Asia for 3 yrs. When things are properly organized here lines work fine. This is an interesting subject for me. I am mildly agorophobic and happen to live in the most densely populated part of the US. For the weeks after the recent East Coast hurricane, the NY Waterways (NYC ferry) has done a great job of managing brutally long commute lines. NJ Transit does not. As a result I am paying double what I would for the bus or subway. Trader Joe's (in NYC) does a great job of managing lines that snake though the entire store. On Saturday morning shopping runs the end of the line is literally right inside the door. Yet I have never seen a fight on line... Last year I went to a football game (Dallas @ NYJets on 9/11). I do not go to games often. The whole queueing up was horrible experience. Crowded on 'cattle car' trains to get to the station which then pour out into a crossing for a highway like ring road around the stadium. Security with guns and dogs all around and no clear directions about where to go. It put me in a terrible frame of mind. I felt like something rotten could happen at any moment... And this was only a crowed of 75 - 80 thousand people. Nothing actually happened, I had a minor freakout and got over it. But I deeply hated the experience. That night I felt like an animal (and payed over $200- per ticket for the privledge ). So no tomjen3 I do not think those people look like sheep. They look human.
