"For countries around the world, waiting in line causes discomfort, but for Japanese people, Japanese queuing culture is followed very seriously, they do not feel uncomfortable because of this. There are people here who say queuing is a Japanese culture worth appreciating.
In Japan, from the elderly to young children, no matter where they go, what they want to buy, or what they have to wait for, they all seriously line up.Be conscious not to make noise until it's your turn. When witnessing that image, many foreigners in Japan could not help but be surprised and excited. From the Japanese perspective, queuing is not a culture, but a habit that has been built since childhood.
The Japanese people's queuing habits come from many different factors: First of all, it is the "natural" way of thinking. They believe that products that are lined up by many people are definitely valuable. Therefore, just seeing the queue, many Japanese people will immediately follow.
Queuing in Japan is a daily activity and an everyday activity, so people participating in queuing do not feel burdened, but see it as a part of life. They can have fun, laugh, and chat with each other while waiting in line for too long. This is even an opportunity to gather with friends and relatives.
"In Japan, you can randomly see images of Japanese people lining up, from intersections, bus stops, subway stations, stores, waiting in line for meals... the Japanese even "love" it. queuing to the point where you can queue anywhere. But absolutely no Japanese person feels uncomfortable waiting in line.”
A touching story that spread a lot. A 9-year-old boy - a victim of a natural disaster - was standing in line waiting for food distribution, wearing only a t-shirt and shorts while it was very cold. The boy was given a portion of dry food by a member of the relief group and asked to eat first to ease his hunger because he was at the back of the line. However, after receiving the dry food, the boy put it in the basket of those distributing food and continued to return to the line to wait. When asked why, the boy's answer really touched many people: "Because there are many people who are probably hungrier than me. Put it in there so the aunts and uncles can distribute it together to make it fair." The story of a young boy who has a sense of civilized behavior must make many adults like us think." - quoted by JES
In Vietnam, queuing culture is also increasingly widely applied in life. Hopefully, one day soon, Vietnam will also be mentioned as a country with a typical Queuing Culture.
