I love the fact that you have the verb "to queue" in English, and we don't have it. However, we have a verb for "to jump the queue" (colarse) and you don't. Shows the way we think.

We don't really queue in Liverpool
We kind of huddle and remember the order.
Sometimes people go before they should, but it also allows for random acts of "NO, after YOU." so it gives people an opportunity to be good and not just obedient.
