Queueing Etiquette in Turkmenistan

Queueing is often informal in Turkmenistan, so at shops, ticket windows, and public offices you may need to ask politely whose turn is next rather than assuming a strict single-file line. In crowded places people usually rely on local cues and staff direction, and in smaller towns or less busy settings it is common for someone to step forward only when invited or when the clerk calls the next person.
