To wait for your turn.
خلفية ثقافية
Queuing is seen as a matter of fairness. Even at a bar, the bartender usually knows who is next, and customers expect this order to be respected. Like Norwegians, the British are famous for their queuing etiquette. Both cultures view cutting in line as a serious social offense. In some Southern European cultures, queues may appear more chaotic or 'organic' compared to the strict linear queues in Norway. Norway is highly digitized. Queuing often happens via apps or SMS notifications rather than physical lines.
Take a ticket!
In Norwegian pharmacies or post offices, look for a small machine near the entrance to 'ta en kølapp'.
Never sneak
Cutting in line is one of the quickest ways to make Norwegians angry, even if they don't say anything.
