خلفية ثقافية
The 'Tko je zadnji?' rule is sacred. Even if there is no visible line, you must ask who is last to establish your place. Waiting in line is often a social event where people bond over shared frustration with bureaucracy. In coastal regions, the 'pomalo' (take it easy) attitude might make the 'red' move slower, but it is still respected. In the capital, lines are generally more orderly and 'European' in style, especially in modern malls.
The Magic Question
Always ask 'Tko je zadnji?' when you enter a waiting area. It shows you respect the local 'red'.
Don't Jump!
Going 'preko reda' (skipping the line) is considered very rude and will likely cause a verbal confrontation.
