Queueing Etiquette in Guinea-Bissau

Queueing is often looser than in many Western countries, so expect people to cluster around a counter or doorway and rely on whoever is serving to call the next person rather than on a strict single-file line. In busy markets, bus stops, and government offices, staying patient and politely asking whose turn is next works better than trying to enforce a rigid queue, though formal services in hotels or banks may be more orderly.
