Queueing Etiquette in Uruguay

People in Uruguay generally queue in an orderly, patient way, especially in banks, pharmacies, bus stops, and government offices, and cutting in line is seen as rude. In informal settings like a busy bar or bakery, people may form a loose first-come, first-served line and quietly keep track of who arrived before whom, so it helps to wait your turn and ask politely if you are unsure.
